>Hopefully the movement to make it illegal under a certain age gathers momentum. Same here. With tech's growing influence on everyday's life. >> A 2021 report from the same group showed a significant rise in the number of 8- to 12-year-olds with a smartphone, from 24% in 2015 to 43% in 2021. I am thinking if the 8 - 10 age group skew this figures. I would expect 11-12 to have a smartphone at 60+% rate. Partly because at that age it is hard to resist peer pressure that their friends all have one. Normally I am against government making decisions for us. But this case it makes it easier. At least the government could mandate all schools to limit Smartphone usage under certain age.
