For many years now, I have used vacation time to work at an academic summer camp for 11 and 12 year olds. Almost all of the kids have phones, but some years there's one (I don't think there's ever been more than one) who does not.

A couple of the children without phones have been very proud of the fact they don't have phones. They'll readily tell you they don't need one and don't want one.

Now, I have no clue if these children were in truth allowed phones by their parents, or how they would react if actually offered one. But they certainly seemed to be doing fine.

So, yes, I found the story plenty believable.

P.S. If it sounds like a crappy situation where only one kid is left without a phone, I don't disagree, but it's mostly out of my control. As I said, some children are completely fine with it, but I had one this past summer who was not.

It’s probably the new version of how you can tell that someone doesn’t watch tv. You don’t, they’ll tell you.
