Like it or not the physical and digital world will continue to meld. Just think what these kids are gonna get in the future with AR/VR everywhere, smart/IOT objects all over the place and some national ID system. We're worried now but they're preparing for a future where losing your digital access keys more or less shuts you out from participating in the world. Still, doesn't mean we can't teach more responsibility and encourage healthier behavior.

Agreed. I was just trying to see it from her perspective.

But that doesn't mean that I'm blowing off concerns about kids having their minds pwned. It's a hugely serious issue.

And still, "no phone for you" was a harsh, and ultimately counterproductive, intervention.
