I think that's misguided. It's tricky to define a smart phone in a useful fashion as kids could get hold of mini devices that have wifi and bluetooth, but no other phone connections and surely that would be as bad as the smart phones.

I don't really see the issue with smart phones themselves - the problem is the attention whoring platforms that are warping people's minds and especially with young people, pushing unrealistic beauty/body standards.





IMO the problem has two parts to it. The platforms and the hardware that allows near constant read access to it and instant write access.

Taking away the hardware half is easier and will have enough effect to force people out of the addiction.
