Funny, they are talking about kids but this applies to more than half of Earth's population. Sickening where we're headed... I'm a father-to-be and feel so overwhelmed about how to introduce tech to my kids...

Everyone here didn't have an argument and just screaming "Ok boomer" like they proof that the video are wrong 🤦.

If your Kid can't talk normally... don't give them one.
I've got my first two Blackberrys with like... 4? Later to my 9th Birthday a Smartphone.

Why do the parents need their passwords etc. ? And also it is illegal to "spy" them.
My Grandmother recently upgraded from an old Flipphone to a "Redmi 8" and she is happy. Why is the Smatphone handled like a Kids Toy?
I mean... you don't give them Money, if they are throwing it into fire... but neithr would you give it to a 30YO who is doing the same... .
