Life without cell phones
Good or bad? I think that they should be banned from kids until late teens.

Mobile phones (or cell phones as you Americans call them) are useful to have in an emergency. If a child is in trouble, they can call for help much more easily. Like with many things though like the Internet and TV, their use should be limited subject to safety controls. They shouldn't be allowed to play on them 24/7, because they end up not interacting in the real world. That's a problem for all ages, actually. But banning them altogether until late teens? That's going a bit far.
