If I do things right, my children will never know the existence of the internet until they are in their teens.Bretimus_v2 said:

Good luck. Might be difficult with the phones and tablets and gaming systems and what not.
Yeah, they aren't having any of those things. They can have regular cell phones, books, and puzzles.

Don't regular cell phones have internet still?
Books and puzzles I approve of though! More books is a good thing.

Longo sounds like the premise of The Village.

My son asked for a phone and I laughed. You're 8, bro.

Haha, parents are done for!
They just use it for bloody games and fucking around anyway. It's either get a phone or borrow and break daddy's phone.
But when other kids in the class are getting one thats when it starts. "Do you have instagram"?
BOOM!
They're teenagers at age 8.

To be fair, when I was 8 years old the internet and cell phones didn't exist, but I was already rather self-dependent and in that sort of "leave me alone no one gets me" phase.
Sometimes I still feel that way, although its real fleeting.
I first used the Internet when I was eleven years old, to play lots and lots of Diablo.

I'm just saying my eight year old doesn't need to be directly contactable

My first use, I was 11. I was on the Nintendo Power chat boards talking about video games. I also had been playing great CD Rom games like Command: Aces of the Deep and Air Power
Fun times...

I got the internet when it was still new and exciting and parents didn't exactly know what it was exactly. But us kids knew, oh yes, we knew...
I think all the kids suckered their parents into getting us the internet. I would tell my mom how it was the greatest encyclopedia ever and showed her a demo of it at a store that displayed a speech by JFK.
Like with the Super Nintendo and the N64 my mom caved and got the internet! I was so excited. I got home, plugged the phone cord into my computer, dialed up, listened to all the funny noises and BAM! I was introduced to the information age.
But like I said earlier, all us kids knew the powers of the internet. So I opened up my web browser and for my first search ever I typed.... "Boobs".
