I'm married with a kid on the way and have a pretty good social life, seeing friends and family multiple times a week. When we aren't out, my wife and I regularly watch TV and movies together.

Based on the above, do you think I ever use screens by myself? As a programmer and a writer, would you claim that I have no use for a quiet, private workspace without distractions?

(It's crazy how many people are coming out of the woodwork to insist on this false dichotomy between being socially well-adjusted and having a use for a screen that can't be shared.)
