Computer Help and Support

Heck, my wife's work phone, provided by her employer, is locked down so tightly for security reasons that it can't really be used for anything but her work. And every use of the phone is logged.

Children have to learn how to stay out of trouble on the internet when they are young. Otherwise, as soon as they are adults, all hell is likely to break loose.

I encountered a few very creepy people almost as soon as I turned 18, Jeffery Epstein types who knew enough to keep their hands off of minors. ( I looked younger than my age and wasn't trying to look older. ) Fortunately I wasn't naive and I didn't want anything they were offering. A few people in my high school class ended up doing porn. I have my own stories about two encounters with that industry; I was wise enough to walk away both times.

My own children had cell phones starting in high school but in those days cell phones were basic. You could make calls, send texts, or maybe play a game of snake.

It's possible I wouldn't want my children identified as minors on the internet. That just makes them a target for scummy advertisers trying to get them hooked on stuff they don't need.
