Question

The location of the family computer may turn into a hot debate as your children get older. Whether you have one computer in the house or five, you should consider the following things as you make a final decision.

Safety

The first consideration should be the safety of your children. There is a certain amount of danger if you allow your children to have a computer with Internet access(进入) in their rooms with no parental direction. They are much more likely to share improper information and chat with strangers if they know that no one will be watching.

This does not mean that you cannot allow your children to have a computer in their rooms. Consider allowing a computer without Internet access, or with limited access. This is especially useful for teens who use the computer for creative projects, playing video games and listening to music. Keep in mind, however, that it is likely that your kids are more skilled at computers than you are and may remove any blocks you have in place.

Computer Use

The way your family computers are used will play a large role in determining where they should be located. A machine used only for homework will need to be in a quiet location where there is low traffic. One used for chatting online can be in the room where most of the family spend their time. If Mom and Dad use a computer for work, those needs will also have to be considered.

Space

Space must also be considered in computer placement. The computer will need electricity, plenty of desk space and a spot away from the bright light of windows. You will not want it located in a room where your kids may be noisy.
