I agree that the best thing is to not give them smartphones but sometimes parents do not agree between them. Sometimes close friends and family will say you are too hard on your kids.
Some parents just don't realise how bad this is or they don't care.
Sometimes it's the grandparents who give them the smartphone and what you wanted to do is nullified and you are seen as bad because you deny to give them something "so good".
No, all in all, a global, robust solution need to be imposed by the governments. Like for tobacco, like for alcohol or drugs.
I have the problem with my daughter and I hate all this social media and stupid ad-based videogames in the smartphones.
This is when technology makes the world worst, the companies just seek their interest.
- serialNumber 3y agoRespectfully - I must say, I feel as though you have a lot more control over how your daughter uses her smartphone than you think you do. In my eyes, smartphone usage cannot be compared to toxins like alcohol/drugs/tobacco, a global solution is impractical in this case.
- dotandgtfo 3y agoI don't have kids, so that aspect I can't comment about. But I was a kid one time and keeping me away from a screen (after I got the taste of them) was challenging. They caved. A direct comparison to toxins is hard indeed, but how about gambling? It obviously has enough addiction potential to induce certain people into compulsive and destructive behaviour warranting regulation. The same research that's been done in the gambling industry is being used in social media and especially mobile gaming today. A global solution != a European solution/framework.
