phone for children as young as four. The phone is very simple. In fact, it doesn’t even have a screen. It has no
Internet access or text messaging service. Children can only use it to make or accept calls, and their parents
decide which numbers their child can call. Some people believe that creating phones for children this young is
dangerous. They say that it is just a way of getting them interested in technology at an early age. They also believe
that using mobile phones damages the health of very young children. However, the company producing the phone
say it is a safe and simple way for parents to keep in touch with their children. It allows them to contact their
children without worrying about the other dangers that come with mobile phones. So what do you think? How
