Human interaction outside of school is coordinated by kids with smartphones, using smartphone apps, to other kids who have smartphones.
No joke a child without a smartphone would seem weird to the rest of the group and risk alienation bases solely on the lack of that smartphone.
- krapht 7y agoSeriously, even as an adult I have circles of friends who exclusively organize events through Facebook and interact with each other through Snapchat and Instagram. When I was a wee nerd I would've resented my parents intensely if they had cut me off from my AIM and ICQ accounts, hah. Social media is like booze - social lubricant when used responsibly, but can cause problems in those with addictive personalities. Teach your children to use it responsibly, instead of forcing them to be teetotalers.
