Ban smart phone use and ownership for anyone less than 16

MSN had a headline kids as young as 10 own smart phones.  Too young.  These damn contraptions are ruining kids and America.

Throw them outside on their bikes and tell them to be home for dinner.

I realize I'm old and unhip, but I was recently at a conference and the entire table I was at was looking at their phones instead of listening to the speaker. I occasionally find myself scrolling through instagram, twitter, and the weather when strolling around, but I try to keep that in check. What happened to living in the moment as opposed to your world revolving around "posts," "snaps," and "tweets"?

Old man rant over.

We are developng a generation of self induced technotardation.  Kids can't spell, socialize, and have medical problems.  Their brain waves are scrambled eggs.  I wonder if the rise in autism, attention deficit syndrome, and the rise of hate is related to the use of smartphones.
