Teens or Tweens Should Not Have Smart Phones

My apologies , for the lack of citations. I have a few sources. A link to the Wikipedia page on E-Ink. This was pioneered by Kindle by amazon. Most of it's readers have this ability. As mentioned , some mobile phones also have this function. https://en.wikipedia.org... In Short "E Ink (electrophoretic ink) is a specific proprietary type of electronic paper manufactured by E Ink Corporation, founded in 1997 based on research started at the MIT Media Lab. Joseph Jacobson and Barrett Comiskey are listed as inventors on the original patent filed in 1996.[1] It is currently available commercially in grayscale and color[2] and is commonly used in mobile devices such as e-readers and, to a lesser extent, mobile phones and watches...." Also , Mozilla Firefox has released an "Article Mode" For it's browsers. It allows a user to customize the size of text and switch between a black background with white text for night reading and vice-versa for day time. Link > https://support.mozilla.org... The problem with "yoga on T.V" is the fact that it's :- 1) Not customized to the needs of an individual 2) The mobility is non-existent As far as the fact about "rely on their phones for everything.." It's a part of our evolution as a species. We have made innovations to make our life simpler , better and to discover new things. Smartphones have pioneered this age. In the hands of the youth , they make a formidable TOOL. My dear opponent, the "..bragging about it to others.." argument is flawed. Some Teens or Tweens will brag about anything that they own. It depends on the character of a person. In my opinion , Smartphones in no way PROMOTE bragging or showing off. Rather , the exposure to social media has given teens power to stop this. In a hypothetical situation , If Teen A knows that everytime he brags, bullies, talks down to people , he will face severe criticism online due to increased access of teens on the web due to smartphone , he will THINK THRICE before doing so. The game Ingress ( Link > https://en.wikipedia.org... ) Is more about co-ordinating and communication to fellow "faction" people and moving around. People can realistically only spend 45 minutes per "Portal" ( game lingo for the control points. Generally monuments ). Constant movement is needed, and it's focused on activity. Unfortunately, In most countries the penetration of computers is very low. Smartphones allow people to connect to the internet with minimal hardware and cost. A developed country like US may not feel it's effects, but Most countries in Asia and Africa face these problems. I live in India, and even though I live in a major city ( New Delhi ) , Libraries are NOT computerized here. The internet has appeared here within the last 5-6 years. Most people still go to Cyber-Cafe's which charge large amounts for the usage of internet and computers. Opposed to this , Smartphones have a HUGE penetration here, low cost and essentially easy to use and set-up. Teens , in areas even worse off than this , will surely benefit from a tool which allows them to connect to the world from a remote hill , village or island. The world , at large remains un-connected. The people beyond the age group of 25 are refusing to learn and utilize this technology to it's best. Teens , and Tweens , Should go ahead and use Smartphones. The world is experiencing a global revolution, It's time to embrace it. I re-affirm my stand. Teens and Tweens SHOULD USE SMARTPHONES.
