I got my first cell phone when I was 14 years old, 8th grade, and it was because My brother was not driving to school, and My mom wanted to have a way to contact both of us in case of an emergency. Also, the events of 9-11 had a major part in why I got a cell phone, but anyways, I was reading an Article from Time.com about a company that is making cell phones for kids. Currently in their Beta testing, they have given phones to kids from ages 9 to eleven, and are showing how responsible these kids can be. I find a 9 year old with a cell phone COMPLETELY stupid. Why does a 9 year old need a cell phone? Here is the link to the article, let me know what you think about it?

9 year olds do not need cell phones. I'm a big fan of those elastic cords that you strap on the little bugger to keep him close. I think stuff like giving kids cell phones just reinforces the current culture that they are being brought into. What are they going to do with them? Gossip with their friends about stuff they probably shouldn't know about anyways?
This post made me laugh, cell phones for kids - just as bad as dog leashes for toddlers...
