    How many generations grew up without smart phones? Basically all of them. Why did it suddenly change that they are now "socially isolated" because they don't have smart phones?

    It's actually proven that children and teens benefit from quality over quantity of their friendships. They don't need to have surface level relationships with everyone they meet. They just need a few really good friends they interact with in real life.

    @Bazoogle @ageedizzle I'm ok with my kid interacting with his friends on his phone, I'm not ok with mindlessly watching YouTube or playing pay-to-play mobile games
