Well yeah. If I was blocked off from communication with everyone, of course I would be anxious. There's a difference between the security in having your phone on you, and using it all the time.

There has to be a happy medium between not isolating your kids while also protecting them from what is a highly corrupting environment. Maybe this is just hindsight, but I look back at my unfiltered internet access as a kid and am pretty pissed off that my parents didn't get more involved.

Same here. When I got my first smartphone in highschool, I quickly became massively addicted. I would guess that at least half my time was spent on reddit and 4chan for many, many years.

Though I don't blame my parents... How could they have known?
