For the love of everything teenie-bopper and annoying, why would anyone even think of taking away a teenager’s mobile phone? Well, aside from silencing the incessant yapping and monthly-bill-destroying SMS text messaging, it seems that government officials of Karnataka, India have deemed “”prolonged use of [handsets] by teenagers” dangerous to their health.
The Indian state has outlawed the use and even sale of mobile phones by teenagers 16 years of age and younger. Apparently, there are some medical experts that think mobile phones could somehow adversely affect a growing kids (brain) development. What could make them think such a thing?
