I don't like it... I don't want my DD to be glued to a screen all day... but all the adults around her seem to be creating ways to make them more and more necessary!
I think we may end up getting her a very locked-down phone and making her pay for any "upgrades" with her allowance.
I mean, I don't even have a cell phone right now and I've managed 10 years without one. Just this past year my DH got a free tablet when he had to replace his broken phone but it doesn't do phone calls, it can just access the internet and do texts. Skype works with a Wifi connection but that has limited usage.
I have an atlas in my car and I research things thoroughly before I set off on a trip... navigational street smarts have served me well so far!
