Do you spend more time reading e-mails than with your spouse?
Time magazine reports that the average American spends more time reading e-mails than they do with their spouses. Do you believe that?
YVONNE WHITAKER, Beavercreek: “Yes, I do. You’re in front of your computer all day at work, or even at night, and you aren’t with your spouse that much.”
EVERETT JOHNSON, Dayton: “I definitely think it’s possible. There’s not enough time devoted to family and a lack of a relationship with God. People are finding time for other interests, when family should be their priority.”
BETHANY HUSTON, Kettering: “Absolutely. We’re living in a society where people go out to the perimeters of communication, and they’re looking for new journeys and excitement in their lives.”
ERIC BALL, Dayton: “It all depends on what business or job you’re in, and what your current situation is. If your job didn’t rely heavily on e-mails — and I get e-mails on my phone, as well — then that may or may not be the case.”
SUSIE LENTZ, Beavercreek: “Our computers are on all the time. It makes sense.”
