Cell phone

As promised, LM got his first very own cell phone. We tried really hard to get him a non-smart phone, alas all options to do so were more expensive than getting a free low-end smart phone, and adding him to our account.Crazy! We disabled his data, and are figuring out what else we want to do for the moment to make sure we don't loose him to the addictive and highly manipulative digital world.

I was never the same after watching Anderson Cooper's brief expose of the social media and phone addiction issues. If companies like the aptly named Dopamine Labs have an entire machine in motion to get him  hooked on social media, what chance does a kid stand???
