They are nearly 12 and nearly 10. Both would like them ("everyone else in the class" has them, obviously. Ahem). I think they should be doing something more interesting with their time, and that the last thing they need to do is loaf around on the internet. Nearly 12 yo would be likely to take root on one, so it would mean arguments about time limits (currently 1 hr per day max on my computer).
FWIW, DH and I have none of these devices (no iPad, no iPod, no smartphone etc), and rather feel that if anyone is going to have one, it should be us before the children.
But are we BU?
