Why you people giving little kids phones and other expensive crap?

I would just like to say that I did not give her the iPod. After her last (failed) tympanoplasty, she couldn’t taste anything for close to six months. Her grandma and grandpa decided she needed a brand new fancy expensive pink iPod. I just bought a very nice case for it after the fact... oh, and new headphones this year when her old ones died. No earbuds when you have inner ear trouble.

my phone and kindle together didn’t cost what that iPod did. My iPad was a generous gift from a Schipperke friend who was getting a new iPad. Mine is 7 years old. Although, I did get her the Nintendo switch. It was kinda for me, too, though.

I got my 2015 Samsung e lite for 40 buck's on my 20th birthday
up till that point I wasn't allowed on the internet without permission.
That was almost three years ago! Lol :3

I had a cell phone since middle school but it was one of those chunky ones you could throw out of a moving car and it still wouldn’t break. Otherwise I got an iPod touch when I was 16 and had a laptop me and my sister and brothers shared at home. (I did have a game boy sp and a 3ds too which I guess are expensive, but I was very careful with them)

E has strict rules about the switch and the ds. Same when she uses one of mine. The school device is a ... umm... pos... it's a chrome book and the district owns one for every kid to use, of course they want the cheapest available. Strict rules there. She'll get my old phone when I have to get a new one. I've become very good at using the parental controls on i devices. I can lock her iPod from across town with my phone *cackling*. Honestly, Apple has it set up so you can literally control devices in your family if necessary. I've never had to with E. She just clumsy.
 
Why do people need parental controls on stuff, there wasn't any of that stuff when I was a kid and I never tried to look a **** or nothing when I was a wee lad.

Neither did I. I've heard some horror stories about 4 year olds buying $300+ on an Xbox and accidentally ordering with voice controls.

I'm not too worried about E. I did have to restrict games and internet during school hours now that she's at home so much. Who wouldn't rather play a game than listen to your math teacher explain how to multiply and divide fractions when you learned it two years ago and already passed his 'mastery test' over a week ago. lol Otherwise I just have it so you need a password, my password, or she can send a request to my phone for any purchase which includes the free games. It's there for me, too, so I don't accidentally buy something.

Some parents like to restrict explicit lyrics in Apple music and mature content on Netflix. I don't. E doesn't watch smut and she knows all the curse words and who it's safe to say them around.

They sensor anything that might be a trigger word.

It the first one I owned personally too, but my family did have the portable Genesis system Nomad (I say portable, but it used the full size cartridges and weighed a ton) before that :)

My dad modified it so it could charge useing a usb, cable added battery cell's for up to 8 hours of play, and did a screen mod.
Pulse we can play all of the game's we own on our flash card without messing up the case's and games!

Are people so wimpy now days that we have to censor everything because it might upset some rando.

So in the future all text is probably going to be a bunch of BLACK CENSOR BARS.

Yes, unfortunately that is the sad truth.
Unless something drastic happens, it's only going to get worse, as GC innocently pointed out. :(

I feel like I've missed something who's GC and where did they point that out?
