Too much screen time? Try: All the Time in the World film maker Suzanne Crocker

Techstination feature for Thursday, January 16, 2020

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.      If one of your resolutions year is to cut down on the amount of time the kids …and maybe you  spend in front of screens…might want to first spend a little screen time watching Suzanne Crocker’s film…All the Time in the World.   She, her husband, three kids, two cats and a dog…spent nine months in a small cabin in the bush in the Canadian Yukon.   No electricity..except for the batteries needed for film making.  And the story is about what happens to a family in that kind of setting.  How has she dealt with screen time issues?  Crocker told her oldest son…he could only play video games that he wrote and programmed...

“He took up that challenge and he really enjoyed programming video games more than playing them for a while.  And then he quickly went on to design boardgames and things like that.”
