TLDR:

Making your kids go without smartphones could be difficult because their friends will most likely have phones and will most likely leave your kid out of events and conversations.

    I think in the future small 'anti-internet' communities will be formed by parents like these. Maybe children raised in these communities will be better socially adjusted lol

      Sadly given current trends those communities are much more likely to be of the controlling and indoctrinating type than well-meaning. But maybe more people who aren't nutjobs can realize how harmful the internet is to kids.

      Being better socially adjusted just means you're good at adhering to social norms. If these kids are outside of the norm then they wont be considered better socially adjusted. Whatever is considered good social skills is defined by whatever the social norms are.
