Last current events quiz we read about how Apple was trying to determine whether they could or even should break an iPhone at the federal governments request. The story has not gone away. Read page A2 "FBI, Apple clash before Congress"

No.

It depends how well your child acts and how well you trust them.

6. What age do you think children should be exposed to electronic devices like iPhones and iPads? WHY?
