You make it sound like I said, "No computers, no internet, no cameras, nothing!" It will also strongly depend on the temperament and character of the kid in question, but putting that aside, there's a difference between total control and not giving someone a smartphone. Play. Get dirty. Take risks. Life is full of all of that, and most of it doesn't haunt you forever. Kids and smartphones though, it's just a bad combination.
