“While most young kids and teenagers spend hours upon hours glued to tablets and smartphones, Bill Gates’ children had a markedly different experience growing up. During a recent interview with the Mirror, the former Microsoft CEO said that when his children were growing up, he limited their exposure to the addicting glow of digital screens.
“We often set a time after which there is no screen time and in their case that helps them get to sleep at a reasonable hour,” Gates said. Also interesting is that Gates — whose children currently range in age from 14 to 20 — didn’t even give his kids access to cell phones until they turned 14. And even then, using cell phones while the family was having dinner was expressly prohibited.”

As much time as I spend looking at a "glowing screen," it's unthinkable for me to stare at one while eating a meal with others. I don't understand why some people do that; it's very rude.

Technology is a blessing when used properly, but for those who do not use it to communicate useful knowledge, it only encourages vain curiosity and "the concupiscence of the eyes" (1 Jn. 2:16).

Yeah. 14 year old can have cell voice phone without internet and texting.
