Barmymoo:
It is amazing how much Disney Channel one can watch in two years.
Method of Madness:
Saying nobody needs a smartphone is like saying nobody needs a computer. Sure, it's true, but phones these days are basically computers you bring with you.
DSL:
Don't the stages of technology go something like:
1) Wouldn't it be neat someday if ...
2) We're never gonna need anything like ...
3) Well, yeah, you can have one if you're rich.
4) I gotta get me one of these ...
5) How'd we ever get along without ...
6) (sometimes simultaneous to 5) this $%*%&$ thing ...
7) You have one of those? Get with the times, grampa!

So are laptops.
When I can do complex 3D modeling and post-processing for extrusion-printing on a smart phone I will buy one.
Until then TracFone all the way.

I think I understand where Dora is coming from. I was around Sam's age when my dad introduced me to his new girlfriend (now my stepmom). I thought she was pretty cool and would ask her to do things that, for a kid who wasn't her boyfriend's daughter, would have been totally fine with her. But she also didn't want to step on my dad's parenting-toes until she knew me and my dad better. That's how I interpreted her reaction, at least.
If Sam's dad was somehow really pissed off about it, I wouldn't see their relationship lasting. But I understand the desire to err on the side of caution with a new partner's kids.
