Germany has become a society of singles, solo parents and of people who live in relationships, but with separated households. Even food industry makes huge profit by selling convenience foods for singles. Here you can buy 3 packed salami slices. Perhaps we have more single persons who own several computers, than several people sharing one computer. It seems to differ from nation to nation. Some are "single nations" others are "family nations". I don't know statistics, but IIRC in Germany we've got more smart phones, than citizens. I've got the impression that most people in Germany have a smart phone, tablet PC, netbook or laptop and they don't share it with somebody else. Sharing a laptop sometimes happens, sharing smart phones, tablet PCs and netbooks not that often. Desktop PCs are often used for a special purpose, e.g. for gaming and I know people who play games with other people, but even if they sit in the same room, they don't use one computer, but connect their computers instead ... ok, then it becomes a multi-user-network, however, I suspect that here most "single-user" systems do _not_ have 2 people. Even in Europe it's likely different for meridional nations. Regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
