When I was a kid I got to use the family PC in the living room. While my peers that got on smartphones early started brain rotting on Facebook I was on my bicycle with my best buds and curfew of when the street lights come on. Kids can live without smart phones, and definatley don't need unmonitored access to the internet. Doesn't take parental controls, they simply don't need the internet in private. Their too young and curious to be trusted on it for their own good.
