first, good points and examples, thanks. I especially liked the Palantir one, I am a Tolkien fan, but it never occurred to me it would be a good analogy for smartphones.
Second, to complete what you said, I would add that it is crucial to highlight that saying NO to personal smartphones or tablet before 14 years old does NOT mean at all "saying no to acquiring digital skills"!!!
Thanks so much for your comment, and I'll be sure to check out your article! Love the title and sounds like a great read! Totally with you on the smartphones. :)
