Very Biased

Very bad for your kids, trust me. He will make them want an iphone because for marques there isnt any better phone. Your child will not only get exclusionary like iphones but also will ignore the capabilities of tech. Aside from that he reviews tech, but let your kid make up there mind when they turn old enough. Tip: don't by your kids touchscreen devices let them practice hand eye coordination on a keyboard.
