Maybe because I was born in the fringe generation, where I got my first phone when I was about to go into high school, and where we didn't have a PC til I was at least in junior high, but the access that today's youth has to the internet is a strange dynamic to me. If I had access to an iPhone or the internet when I was in elementary school, it'd just spell trouble.
I can't decide whether that's just an obscure paranoia, or whether that sort of access for young children will inevitably lead to overexposure to inappropriate content, not just porn but everything else that encompasses that sort of interconnectivity. I'm not concerned about the average parent, who will monitor their child's access to online content, but given the amount of irresponsible, selfish parents in our society these days, I'm worried about the long-term consequences of children having those sort of privileges prematurely and not understanding the responsibilities that are entailed.
