    Read the article, just a bunch of morons who have zero self control. &gt; Isaacs specifically pointed to the 1990s as a time with “a lack of phones, more personal experience, but also still some of the ease of modern technology.” Just this alone shows they have no idea what the 90s were like. &quot;Waaah my phone does too much, I just want an iPod!&quot; Delete social media, download Spotify and boom, your phone is an iPod again.

    As a parent, I have zero faith in any system like this.

I don&#39;t want ANYONE to know if my child is using a device. And if that means I have to create an adult account for them, then so be it.

    Not sure why anyone is still using Verizon. US Mobile has access to their networks and it&#39;s cheaper. Same service. Been with USM for nearly 2 years now. My parents and siblings all switched over too. Moved our numbers over with zero issues. Verizon not in your area? Cool, USM also has access to T-Mobile and ATT. People need to learn to shop around, especially in the current economy we&#39;re in.
