A Mother's Perspective on Smart Phones

No, I'm not mother, nor do I play one on TV, but I do occasionally read about their opinions on child rearing.

This recent article from The Huffington Post's Blog - "Smart Phones: Do They Make Your Kid -- And You -- Stupid?" - was written by a mother, Debra Ollivier, who refuses to buy her 16-year-old son a smart phone. Her reasons line up nicely with some of the opinions that we read about for class this week.

I thought some of you might enjoy looking at the topic from a parent's perspective since I know that we have quite a few parents in class!
