Ben you are spot on, I'm of a similar age and I detest the obsession with phones-it's moronic. And we're NOT showing our age here, its a real problem. On another matter, I live in Perth too and just loved you on Q&A- you really gave them something to think about. It's about time The Abbott government stoped denying and started to do something about Climate Change.

Refreshing stuff Ben. Let's have an updated version of "This Other Eden" with a programmer turned tech CEO as the protagonist. Bugger the WW2 period books for the moment!

Erm, nah. Ten years ago same problem. Texting like mad still at the dinner table, and unbelievably playing gameboy advance and eating all at the same time. Multi tasking at its greatest. Needless to say I did actually ban gameboy and mobiles at the dinner table.

I agree with ben. Not smarter and faster. When encyclopedias came out they thought that would make kids smarter and faster. Did it? Nah. Because its boring looking at school stuff. And I would bet, most teenagers aren't looking at educational stuff constantly, I reckon more time is spent looking at south park, the inbetweeners, plebs etc etc.

Don't buy them phones or pay for them to use phones. Simples.

But they may as well be living on Mars if they don't have phones. That's the problem.
