Poor kids of these helicopter parents will be crippled in life when they don't have basic skills like operating a keypad to text or using a phone to check assigbments, getting into the habit of healthy use, instead they will be struggling compared to their peers who grew up with the technology. If you hate cell phones, you are probably better served being amish
- ethanbond 3y agoUX design is so good today that literal 3 year olds pick up basic usage in like hours. Will they develop the skills to really master complex technologies for big fancy jobs? No, but then neither is the kid playing Candy Crush for 8 hours a day.

- tarboreus 3y agoYeah, no. Anyone of reasonable intelligence can learn to use a smartphone in less than a day, and the ins and outs in a week. The kids I teach programming to who grew up with smartphones are hilariously technologically inept, not even knowing what files and folders are in the median case. The main thing the phone teaches is to mindlessly swipe or to stand there watching a video.
