What are the things you think can only be done on a smartphone, not a laptop, that are so important for kids to learn early?

  Do you think these kids are going to get access to laptops? But to answer the question: patterns of socialization that their peers will follow. How to work around surveillance and filtering. How (and why) to jailbreak locked hardware.

    Patterns of socialization meaning what exactly?

      People outside the no-smartphone group will develop specific ways of interacting, which you only "get" when you participate Stuff you can't even know you're missing out, because you don't know what you don't know Maybe calling someone without a heads up is considered rude, or ending sentences with a period is considered passive aggressive, maybe responding to someone right away is considered desperate or using certain words is okay IRL but not online I agree that kids having smartphones is not good, but isolating an individual or small group from ostensibly the rest of the world in inconsistent ways that may interact in even worse ways is something you should be careful with, you might just be marking them for life
