It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the 'good old days' when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy.

Kids don't know what life was like without cell phones.

I didn't use a phone until I was 14.

There are moments of opportunity for families; moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent!

We hear lots of stories where grandparents go to a store and buy a smartphone so they can keep in touch with kids and grandkids.

I definitely taught my parents how to text and how to charge their phones.

One of the misconceptions about BlackBerry is that it's your parents' smartphone.

Kids are prone to be on their phone and their iPads, prone to sharing things and making things. Instead of trying to divorce education from that, let's lean into that.

My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.

When you have a smartphone, the things that it can do are kind of ridiculous and terrifying.
