Not sure if there is a real right or wrong answer here; just everyone's preferences. But if I had a kid, I want them at the forefront of technology, because that's where the jobs are going to be.

Oh ya, I knew a lot about them. Give them the owners manual and than the phone when they have a car!!!!

That does not mean they need a 300 dollar phone

I agree on that to a point. Remember, giving them technology and controlling it is the best way to keep them in check. When I was in HS I got a nokia brick, had snack on it

, but I had limits on it. The phone only had some many minutes and text, so I had to be responsible in using it.

If you read my post, I said before the license. However, the point at which they should definitely have one is when they start driving.
