Nope, nope, nope. This sentiment just reeks of laziness. Absolute laziness among parents or soon to be parents.
Contrary to popular belief, the internet is not "everywhere". It is located entirely on computers.
Computers which can be placed in the living room instead of the child's bedroom.
Computers which can be password protected in order to get to the desktop.
Computers which have built in parental controls. Using browsers with built in controls. With available add-ons to provide additional parental controls.
Despite what you may think, there are still dumb phones which do not have 5 inch screens and internet available for young kids. Let's even disregard the "silly" notion that kids under 14 don't need a phone at all. There is no reason why we must accept that children are going to be seeing 9 inch penises, enter the cosmetically enhanced vagina's of surgically altered women before they even hit puberty.
Treating children like adults will only bring about a society that knows nothing about the concept of innocence, which only spells disaster for our collective concepts of morality and social health.
Lazy parents, all of you.
