It was in the context of "all these people are coming to med school to be surgeons and they can't do delicate poo poo with their hands" so look forward to that the next time you need major surgery you have any idea what study they were referencing? that is actually my gfs thesis that shes working on rn

What does a smartphone give a 13 year old that can't wait until they're older? i dont use a smartphone or a cellphone even but i can easily imagine how being a 13 year old with no smartphone sucks a whole shitload. theres a significant aspect of social life that your daughter doesn't have access to. its definitely a harsh measure and probably not necessary

I wasn't allowed to have a smartphone until I was 18 and I turned into a depressed loser nerd with no friends, although that may have something to do with being the kind of person who posts on SA rather than not having a phone. Seriously though it did suck extremely hard and made it difficult to stay in the loop on any social circle stuff going on, and I imagine that having 24/7 internet access and social media has only become more integrated into kids' social lives than when I was going through it.

bob dobbs is dead posted:research poo poo is at 48% "reseach poo poo" is multi-junction solar cells sensitive to different ranges of light stacked on top of each others. Three midgets in a trench coat do not make for one tall man. "cheap as gently caress" is great, as long as you can get over 15% or so, which is pretty drat doable. If you want to have hope, perovskite solar cells really are the "spray on solar cell" of the future, it's just that they poo poo the bed super fast. If somebody can stabilize them to last 20 years, then you'll be able to crank them out super fast.

it's great because either the kid has no social life or they participate in social life now which is mostly social media, and surprise surprise a large proportion of teens are extremely anxious, depressive, and "prefer texting because face to face conversations don't allow enough time to decide on a response"

And surprisingly Looking up what they needed at the dmv and when to go. For all the time they spend on the internet they couldnt find poo poo on it. YouTube and social media. Was all they ever used and they couldnt actually use the internet. They need to codify what's after millennial because millenials learned to internet and the next gen stepped into an established glorified chatroom and that's all they know.

It's easy to say that but if your social circle uses WhatsApp and you have a dumb phone you're out of the social circle. Same with messenger or whatever else.

In high school my entire school communicated near-exclusively through Snapchat and Whatsapp so I basically just couldn't communicate with people outside of seeing them in person Monday-Friday. Which I guess might not seem like a big deal to olds but it really sucked. I have no idea what your daughter's situation is spacetoaster but in my experience not having a smartphone is a major obstacle to having a social life as a teen.

the phone is a trade off. no, it's not great for a kid to have one. yes, every other kid has one. it's probably not great for adults to have them, either, but kids are going to have one for the rest of their lives so let them develop good habits with them instead of lawnmowering the obstacle down imho  also install qustodio or something like it and they dont even really have a phone, they have privileges to use one of your phones
