It blows my mind that people readily give 10 year olds iphones.
I have 3 teenagers and none of them have smartphones. They have no unfettered access to the internet in my house. I cannot think of a worse idea than a teenager with a camera and a wide-open internet connection. Some day they will have those things. But not today, Satan.

Use next DNS on your router. > I cannot think of a worse idea than a teenager with a camera and a wide-open internet connection. Some day they will have those things. But not today, Satan. What's the worst that will happen? Porn? Twitter? 4chan?
