Also she is giving him a dog which is better for his health. It also will give you more time to do things that are good for your health because you spend an average of 73 min. just checking your  phone. It also costs $200 and, $70 every month exctra for the data/text plan. Also she is right he is to young because he could loose his phone or get caught up in social media where he could get cyber bullied. Also his friends might get jelous or he will brake his phone.  What saying is he's not resbonsible or mutured.]]> 2016-05-11 17:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110384849 https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110385108 I'm on the mothers side because electronic devices can affect your brain. second, you could get hooked into the smartphone and not talk to your family much.

My first reason is, Matt's Mother said, " But the phone cost $200..." That is very expensive plus, the monthly fee which $70! That is to expensive with all the other taxes and fees people pay. My second reason is, Matt's mother said, " Taking care of the new dog your taking care of!" Matt is already getting something better than a phone! The mom already one the debate with a bias against phones with her negative attitude against phones and good reasons agains t phones.

Also, the son is only 9 years old so he probably isn't mature enough to have a phone. Finally, the son most likely won't be able to pay the phone bill because he only makes $5 a week.]]> 2016-05-11 17:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110393504 https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110612233 I am going on the moms side. I am doing this because when you are young I do not think you need a piece of technology with you. Back when our parents were born they did not even have technology like we do to have fun with. Another reason is that iPhones cost a lot. I do not think a kid could earn enough money to buy one. And by the time you buy one , you might not even want one anymore. My last reason is because your eyes should not be addicted to a piece of technology all day . It is not healthy for your eyes. You could severely damage your eyes. That is why I agree with the moms side.]]> 2016-05-12 17:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110612233 https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110612269 I'm on the moms side  because she has better reasons to why matt should not have a phone.For example it costs to much money and it will hurt your eyes.]]> 2016-05-12 17:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110612269 https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110612355 I am on the moms side because she has a little better reasons about the iPhone. She explained the cost and how Matt will never get to afford the iPhone with his allowance.  Also, the mom said that he already has alot  of screen time and the iPhone will just give him more time on tv. ]]> 2016-05-12 17:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110612355 https://padlet.com/jaykobes/bmsyq2hlb0of/wish/110615178 I am on the moms side because she gives more evidence and details in her response. For example the mom talks about different reasons why Matt shouldn't get a cell phone and Matt only talks about paying for the phone and phone bills.That's why I am on the moms side.

I feel this way because Matt is telling the mom all of these facts that won't persuade the mom. For example, when Matt says 56% of kid of ages 8 to 12 have iPhones doesn't mean the mom will get the iphone.

Like go outside or play with your Freinds. Another thing is that an iPhone is very exspenive 200 or 300 dollars! Mabey once they get a iPhone they wouldn't want it anymore so it's not worth it.

Because she gives alot  better reasons mostly because that kids get too addicted to their phones and 73 minutes a day texting their friend probably non important conversations in the first place. On the other hand the phone costs $200 the kid only has $46 anyway he won't be able to pay for it too.
