In the ’90s, when personal computers really started to gain a foothold, many households had only one computer. It was set up in a centralized location, usually in a living room or basement. If you were really fancy, it might be in a dedicated computer room and even have a second phone line to access the internet. These days, it’s not uncommon for every member of a household to have their own desktop PC, laptop, phone, tablet, or other computing device. Certainly, we gained a lot in convenience, but we lost the familial and communal aspect that was built into early household computing.
You can recapture at least a piece of that feeling by using your old desktop PC as a communal device in a centralized location. Everyone will still have access to their personal devices but will have the option of setting up shop without locking themselves away. It’s especially convenient when you have houseguests. That way, they can get online without you needing to hand over your personal equipment.
If nothing else, it’s an opportunity for the younger folks in your household to experience the unique terror of trying to have a personal interaction online while everyone in your family looks over your shoulder.
