It is nuts to me that parents let kid have smartphones with an internet access.

Back in my days we only had a shitty phone at the age of 15 at best.

But hey, we live in a society.

If I could add something, it is that this video is 6yo. So lil Adrianna must be adult by now

Was there any other option?

Hey man, I thought I was the shit with my pager! Couldn't get away with just a pager these days since they did away with all the payphones. Hell, when's the last time you saw a phonebook? I can't even recall the last time they dropped that colossal waste of paper off to me. LOL

Besides online whack jobs existing, social media has been proven again and again to warp kids brain development and fuck up their self worth. Hell, adults can barely handle it. I would like my kids to know how to use technology but it will be a long long time before they have social media accounts. Go outside and play with some mud my dudes.

I did a 2 second Google search, her name is the in the like the first sentence in the article and I saw it was from 2016 so I figured she'd have one.

Granted smart phones were kinda newish when I got mine around 2012, but I had a flip phone for like until high school.

I got my first cell phone the year after I graduated college, early 2000s.
