Who is this person and why should we care about their opinions on this? Not intending this in a mean way, just if theyre like a behaviour scientist It would change how I read the article.
Artificially restricting your child from having a phone only makes them less prepared for the world. Think of all the kids who grew up without a computer and now they have no idea how they work and can’t do basic tasks.
The middleground is a phone locked down with parental controls.

Hi there. Didn’t have a computer until the 12th grade.
In the 30 years I’ve been working with Linux professionally, some of it was at a distro, working to secure it, and also Unix. I’ve managed an ungodly number of computer hosts, and I took over and maintained a somewhat well-known security tool I’m not gonna name. Lately I do automation: mgmtConfig when I can, Ansible if they pay me so much I can forget just how amazingly bad it is.
I was getting paid for Linux work long before I got a cell phone.
Uh ok mate thanks for your life story. Did computers even exist when you were in the 12th grade?
I fail to see how this is at all relevant to kids in the modern age being kept away from technology. Not having technology access today is completely different to 30 years ago.
Even if we pretend your experience is related id say you were a statical outlier. Most people who are not shown how to use technology will not become adept at using it. Thats why we try and introduce kids to a wide range of things in schooling.
The kids with technology are creating things earlier and earlier, recently a 16 year old made a game that took the record from fortnite for most concurrent players 21million. Growing up with access to technology opens them to an entire world of inspiration and I think if its managed by parents its a powerful tool that I’d never want my kids missing.
