Reply To: BT wants to raise children without internet access…

I agree that it is a mistake to think you can shield children from the world as well. Even if my children (when I have them) are unable to access the internet, they will for sure be aware of it’s existence. I am not naive either. But personally, I know that even as an adult, I have lost sleep because I have checked my email at weird hours or got sucked into a chat conversation at one am. Children need to sleep and spend time with people in person. By the time they are adults, they should already have developed these interpersonal skills to the point where even if they have internet themselves, they should be disciplined enough to know that they need to put their own devices away when they go to bed. Keep them off and stuff. Its kind of like how when I was a kid, I got flashlights taken away from me because I would read a book under the blankets late at night. I can control what books my children read to a much larger degree than what they choose to view online.
