Is a cell phone good for your child?

First term Form Four, excellent results! Thandi's uncle is very impressed, buys her a very sophisticated cell phone as a present.  Thandi gets so excited, tells her friends about the present and are all happy for her, and even those who were not close to her now envy her and want to befriend her. 

Thandi is now occupied with new technology, which keeps her busy and engaged almost every free minute she gets from her busy schedule at school. She discovers a lot more that the phone can offer, facebook, chatroom, you name it.
