Good day dear fellow mylotters,
Now a days, mobile phone is considered as part of our necessity. As almost people of all ages has this device. Just like what I saw inside the bus, while going to my errands, a mother and her daughter sat beside me. And I was astonished to what I have seen, as her kid daughter holding a nokia mobile phone with a model of E72. At first, I just thought it is the mother's mobile phone. But, before they went down from the bus, the mother told her daughter, I have placed your mobile phone inside your small bag and dont use it during your lesson hour. I did not meant to listen to their conversation but the mother's voice was quite loud.
And when they went down, I just have told to myself, how lucky is the daughter, as she already has an E72 nokia mobile phone. As compared to me, I just have the simplest one since I dont have the capacity to get that expensive phone. And besided, as long as the phone can be use in sending calls and sms, then it is good enough for me. Since those functions are the basic ones.
However, the point here is not regarding the mobile phone model - on how simple or complicated the functions. The thing I got astonished was, now a days, even a small kid possesses a multi-functional mobile phones, wherein, it is not that advisable for them to carry those devices especially in public places.

My kid who is 4 yrs old can operate my Android phone and my PC to play.
I don't see it as a problem, kids nowadays have fast learning curve but shorter attention span.
The real issue is that how the said devices will be used.
To as not to complicate things, nokia has tracking services. My best bet is that the mother has subscribed. So she would know where her daughter is. You may not realize this but, I see this from a safety point of view.

Hi there.
You know what, cellphones are now handed by almost all people. At the age of 6 they now have cellphone. When I was at their age, I don't even thought of buying that thing but now I have invested a lot of money to have one.
But I think, parents must also be noticeable, about the disadvantages of cellphone at young age. Parents should be responsible about their child. There's some crimes that involves cellphone such as gang rapes. Those textmates are among all youths now and they intend to have eyeballs which is very dangerous. Parents should be more careful about this situations
