Pros: ability to adopt new technology faster, learning new things with apps (ebooks, audiobooks, blogs et), practice skills such as maths (lots of education apps), improved communication with classmates, parents etc, tools to improve productivity (todos, notes etc). express creativity (camera, music apps, drawing apps). Those are just the obvious ones. You're too biased.
So what's the conclusion when we tally all the points we've discussed so far?

A. Do you have any prove?
B. Overuse of anything is bad. Are you trying to say moderate use is good?
C. Any prove? The same can be said for anything: computer, radio, books, cards

I don't see why not either. Doesn't matter how expensive. It's called capitalism.

Televisions are expensive too. There's been a lot of comments about how it makes people dumb but it's been proven that children remember what they learnt from shows like Sesame Street.
If you can't give a valid reason why children shouldn't use a smart phone then you're just blindly parroting what others are saying.

It's a Chinese signature I think
