I don't think you will like my answer. I do believe it should be a joint decision, BUT...
I went computer/internet free for over a month this summer to see just how much time I wasted on computer and devices. It was a huge amount. The experiment showed me that I am able to entertain myself without this crutch. I also found myself more drawn to real people, and face to face communication. I felt more creative and less distracted. I also ended up keeping my house cleaner and working out more.
I am not against technology. I just think it's a bit like alcohol, it's good to take a breather now and then to make sure your not addicted.
