What does? The notion that kids shouldn't have phones? I guess in my circle I just hear it from baby boomers, who told my generation that TV would rot our brains, as they watch Wheel of Fortune on the highest fricking volume level. These are the people who've been left in the dust, the ones who think video games ruin social skills, because their parents locked them out of the house every day until sundown. I come from a long line of backwoods country folk.
Steve Jobs didn't let his kids even have an iPad, much less a phone. He may be a bad example, because he was pretty out there though. However, this is something that is becoming increasingly common in Silicon Valley. Look up Waldorf Schools.
It's not just games and other entertainment tech, but tech in general.
I have a lot of tech in my house, I hope I can keep tablets and cell phones away from my daughter for a long time. I hope she isn't a gamer as well, gonna be kinda hard with a full Mame arcade in the basement, lol.

I'll read about it or ask my wife (she has a master's in elementary ed., so she may have some familiarity with the concept), but I'm guessing it's just another progressive/alternative take (i.e., opinion) on what kids should be learning and when and how. Everyone else is wrong and they're right and the best and blah blah blah. Since becoming a parent I have read so much shite about parenting and education, and nearly all of it boils down to an attempt to sell (keyword sell) a neatly, uniquely packaged idea, some of them more cult-like than others. Industries related to parenting and education can be highly predatory.

considering he denied the paternity to first child for many years claiming he was sterile... i don't think I'm going to take parenting tips from Steve Jobs.
