Comment on Kids Who Get Smartphones Earlier Become Adults with Worse Mental Health (2023)

Comments

Seems to me earlier access to smartphones would also be detrimental to tech expertise. Teach your kids right, teach them unix first :)

Only give them a phone/computer with terminal like text input and output. If they want to use social media, they must code it themselves, including graphics.

"Talk to your kids about POSIX" reads my favorite t-shirt.

Don't let them use it till they compile the kernel themselves.
