It's strange that these guys offer one of the best training to their kids. Even bill Gates has such doctrine and Elon Musk too.
Including Mark Zuckerberg and family.

You know what’s common with all of them? Their kids will never have a reason to hustle.
So, only hustling kids get exposed to the Internet at the early age? Haven't you heard of Children of the rich who got sex-shamed and blackmailed on the Internet and killed themselves as a result when he/she couldn't manage the situation? Google is your friend. As a grown up kid, he'd just ignore his accusers and call their bluffs, then move on.

Yes! Because you want to get them abreast with many things which will demand gadgets.

In 2025 today, if a 12 years old is not already familiar with MAC or Windows, OS, A professional in at least one coding language, and ability to make independent research, then such child is leaving in the past.

Those people are not making a life for their kids, they already made the life and not worked. With or without gadgets, they still will be rich in the future.

The next sets of Elon Musk and Bezos are already making a world in their field. Those that will top tomorrow’s tech industry are already into it at 12 years.

Exposure to gadgets or OS is different from the Internet. I dont know how best to explain it to you

Alot of people need to learn from this. Not that they dont have money to buy a cell phone, but they just know thr right thing to do with children at the right time

If not for over-sabi/ overdo of some Nigerian parents… really what does a 10-12 year old need a mobile phone for..?

All goes along. In 2025, Have you seen a gadget that cannot access the internet? Everything now happens on the internet. Even if you want to teach a kid how to use Microsoft excel, you still will sign him up for classes on the internet.

The point is that, we are ALREADY in a world where the internet has become a necessity. If a 12 years old is still a novice to the internet, he will forever be a novice and will always struggle among his peers.

Dont listen to those rich guys. Follow the footsteps of people you on same league with.

They have nothing to lose. Their kids will still be successful irrespective of gadgets, internet or even cloths.

If a Royal family can protect their children from internet usage at those ages in this digital era, means they are very protective and concerned about their children.
But black man mentality here, parents are busy doing competition on which of their children uses the most expensive phone, not minding what they access only ne.
Good idea, kids should majorly have access to calls and SMS.
But when they enter high school, internet will assist towards improving their educational knowledge,but should be well monitored.
You sound like the one with an Inferiority complex.
The only reason those kids don't have phones is CONTROL. Same way they controlled Diana, Kate, Harry. They can't afford another scandal no matter how small.

It's possible they have, I've seen cases where children hold phones for their friends who are not allowed to have phones. Those friends bring the phones to school and take them home.
I did this.


My friend had to hold my phone.


The day I brought it home was the last day I saw it.

My dad took it.

Mobile phones and social media are for plebeians. Look at what both technologies did to their uncle. They can’t go around feeling and acting like commoners now. They are born different.

Good decision Prince Williams

Same decision with my son as well. Just a small phone for him to call that's all.


Although he's got Ipad for YouTube and kids cartoons which I always monitor.

It's not just about them not hustling but the destructive tendencies of gadgets towards the development of a child towards education except for learning purposes. That's why computers will be available at home for them to do assignments and other assessments.

You can't compare computer with a mobile phone. You can't just be carrying computer around and looking at messages and messaging as you will easily do with a mobile phone.
