George Orwell saw it all coming long, long ago.
We’re not quite there yet, and it’s coming in a three piece suit and silk tie rather than a tattered blue cotton smock, but it’s coming.
Why, in the name of God, should any teenager be given a smart phone. They cost a huge amount that could be saved for their college educations and are mere distracting toys. I own and seldom use a prepaid phone that costs $7.00 per month, plenty enough for parents and kids to keep in touch. If a kid wants more phone time, let him or her get a job and pay for it.
Just cure my child’s strep,and SHUT UP.
Of course if *anyone* is the victim of violence they’re negatively affected.That might apply more to kids than others.As for the phobia BS it would appear that the nation’s top pediatricians are Maoists.That shouldn’t really be a surprise.
