Every family approaches family rules/dynamics differently
30 years ago, it was "who has the Game Boy" or "why can't I have a Walkman"
In 20 years, it will be something different yet again
We do not let our kids have real phones (they can play with old ones sometimes), and they can only use tablets or laptops for educational purposes (and an occasional (and time-limited) game)
Somehow all of humanity managed to survive for millennia without cell phones, smartphones, etc - your kids will, too :)
