Back in our days there was a lot that our parents thought we didn't need. I can't say that they were entirely right or entirely wrong while taking those decision for us but they did and there was no stopping them. I am not advocating for the mobile industry here neither I condone 12 year old's use of a cell phone. Of course, parents should draw a line for their children but lets accept it for a fact that kids grow at their own pace and so do their neccesities or desires, for that matter.
