Socialization is a slow process. Many people who have good families and rich environments still have problems learning how to have face to face conversations. Look how many people on this site talk about not wanting to have a conversation over the phone or talk to a stranger in a shop.

That's my original comment. Never said anything about banning the internet.

Yes in a thread about banning kids from having smartphones, which are the main way people access the internetwork nowadays.

Just for my own reference; which part do you read as 'banning the internet'?

Okay now you are just being obtuse. You realize lots of kids these days don't have or use regular computers, right? Smartphones are now the only way to access some services as well, and are important in case you get lost. You can't call your parents or 999 on a laptop now can you?

Your use of the word 'obtuse' fascinates me.
