[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]He loves to read and we'd much rather he continue to do that than "have fun on Instagram."[/b] When the day comes that the benefits seem to outweigh the potential costs, we'll get him one. Until then, no need. [/quote] Jesus, a thousand times this.[/quote]
