Smartphones are awesome. They allow us to stay connected with friends/family members, look at dog pictures on Twitter, follow the news, spend hours watching YouTube videos, and so much more.

However, a phone also comes with a lot of responsibility. As such, there's an unsurprising debate as to what age a parent should get their kid their first phone.

Someone in the AC forums recently asked this question, and this is how some of our other members responded.
