Germany has become a society of singles, solo parents and of people
who
live in relationships, but with separated households.

Europe it's likely different for meridional nations.
True. We are neighbors (in term of country, I mean) and I have some
difficulties to imagine a family where people have each their own house.
Thanks for info, it is a quite interesting thing to know. In France,
when two persons form a couple, they usually start at a moment (duration
varies of course) or another to live in the same house and start sharing
their material possessions as well (this is only to confirm that it
differs greatly in Europe, it seems to be the opposite as Germany and we
share frontiers and history).
About the number of phones being greater than the number of people, I
could have said that it could be made by the fact than people needs
professional and private phones, but it is not true for all jobs. Could
you explain me the use of more than 1 phone per person? (just pure
curiosity, I try to keep my mind open, as much as possible. I feel like
it becomes harder with the time.)
ok, then it becomes a multi-user-network, however, I suspect
that here most "single-user" systems do _not_ have 2 people.
It is a particular kind multi-user-network, at least how I understood
what you described, where everyone have the same role. LAN parties (1)
are usually made without a real DHCP server, with "hard-coded" IP
addressees.
There could also be a configuration of a couple both using their own
computer in the same room, but it seem to conflicts with previous
statements.
1: of course, a DHCP can helps, and I have seen those made by an
association starting to buy and configure dedicated hardware. But even
then, the last time I went there they had not setup a DHCP. Windows is
able to build a network without IP conflicts very well, in default
configurations. I strongly doubt that Debian would be, but, of course,
there is no DHCP daemon in default installations of end-user Debian
systems. Plus, even if everyone had a DHCP, some magic would have to be
made to make them able to discuss about which computer should take which
address. Magic which is already present in Windows XP (not sure about
more recent ones)
PS: I have split your comment to extract a part of it, I hope I not
have moved things out of context.
