Parents turn to old-school house phones for kids
Original: For parents who remember growing up with a house phone, going “old school” may be one of the newest technology trends for kids.
Parents who grew up with a landline are bringing back old-fashioned house phones as a technology trend for their children. The idea is that a shared home phone gives kids a way to call friends and family without the distractions, apps and costs of a personal smartphone, echoing a wider debate about screen time and delaying smartphones for children.
Why now: Growing concern among parents about children's smartphone use and screen time is driving interest in simpler alternatives like landlines.
