In an era where digital boundaries are increasingly hard to define, a recent poll has sparked a significant conversation among parents, educators, and policymakers alike. The poll suggests that an overwhelming majority of parents (83%) believe that smartphones are "harmful" to children and young people, advocating for a bold move: the government banning smartphones for those under the age of 16.
