Yes; however, the computer doesn't affect family functioning, interactions, and time together anymore than any other solitary pastimes, e.g., reading novels, jogging, writing, etc. If people want to spend time to themselves there are many ways to spend time alone -- if doesn't have to be on a computer. Therefore I answered "no" because the computer is no more at fault than any other pastime is at fault (to the exclusion of all other ways).
