I had my first smartphone at 16 years old but I worked to buy it.

My parents got very angry when they found out that after school I worked as waiter in a little restaurant because they thought I must study and that I will have time to work later...also they were afraid that neighbors thought we were poor to have their son work so young.

I never dared to ask my parents a smartphone (I had a dumbphone) so I thought it was good to earn it, I was paying for my bills too but when they found out they started to pay me to get me back to school and study full time. In Korea success in school is very important for parents.

I used and I still use my smartphone for everything, and to be honest it helped me a lot in highschool to write papers, share file, read ebook, to schedule terms and homeworks, use dictionaries and to browse the net when I needed something.

I think that it depends of the teen education, I have always been a good boy respectful of my duties and chores so the smartphone didn't affect my grades. It helped me in my studies and to stay connect with friends. I grew up social and I like sports so it isn't true that all kids with smartphones play games and watch the screen 24/7

Well now I'm 19 and I study abroad at university so I guess I satisfied my parents with excellent grades studying hard and I always bought my smartphones :fingers-crossed: now I have a Galaxy S3. I never liked spoiled kids that always have everything they ask.

Need: Essential to modern life - No, smartphone isn't a need

Deserve:

Want:

Earn:

Have use for/benefit from:

My 12 yr old has had a smartphone for 2 years now. He doesn't need one really, always wants one, often deserves it (when he doesn't I restore a backup of a stripped down stock rom that only has alarm, call and text abilities and stick him with that for a few days). My wife and I have use in him having one, though, which is the only reason he has one.

No teen needs one. If you don't develop anymore, the world keeps spinning I promise. If you can't Skype your friends, call them. See them in person. Not a big deal.

You all may deserve, earn and benefit from one. I might benefit from you having one. It still isn't a need.

That's exactly what I said in my last rant.

The fact is, the human brain is only halfway towards fully developed when you're 13. Fully developed at 25. That leaves all the 14-16 yr olds here without not only the crucial life experience that lets adults see why it's not a necessity, but also at a biological disadvantage. I don't mean that to insult. Keep challenging things, it's good for you. Strive to find ways that I'm wrong and you cannot live without a cellphone, much less a smartphone. You are highly unlikely to find such a reason, but no harm trying. Just no that wisdom does come with age (just not to everyone).

Go read a book. Draw something. Play a boardgame. Take a walk. Grab a camera. Creativity can only develop itself when you try out new things, not when you grab the easy way out. Boredom is the driving force behind innovation and creation. (Do you know why they developed the webcam? Because the guys at Cambridge got bored standing around waiting for the coffee to be finished.) You can't evolve if you don't do something and learn something first.

You're on XDA. The amount of things you can learn just by being here is amazing. Try it for a change.

Worse even. The entire world's repository of knowledge within free and easy reach, and what do they use it for? Catvideos, Drunken facebook pictures, Meme's and complete and utter bullsh*t.

You can learn ANYTHING on the internet, and kids only become dumber on it. No wonder humanity is devolving and the average IQ dropped 10 point...

I'm a gamer too, played in official leagues and everything. But d'you know what? I learned everything I know about quantum physics on the internet. When I was 15.
