[quote=Anonymous]Lots of reasons that have already been stated by other PPS, but also because I don't believe in technology purely for the sake of technology. Not a Luddite by any means--we have all sorts of technology, but only after it's clear that adopting each item will actually measurably improve our lives. A smartphone for our young teen doesn't pass that test. He can call and text on a regular phone, and use the computer for school-based assignments, etc. He loves to read and we'd much rather he continue to do that than "have fun on Instagram." When the day comes that the benefits seem to outweigh the potential costs, we'll get him one. Until then, no need. [/quote]
