Smartphones won't help you learn how computers work. They are dumbed down devices, designed to keep you on social media while maximizing exposure to ads. These things are way worse than TVs.

Tasker says you're wrong.

The kid who has done nothing more than install games from the play store is miles ahead of his phone-less peers.

And I'd say the kid who learned to start a game on daddy's PC is miles ahead of the kid who clicked on an icon in the play store.

Edit: I just saw that you mentioned access to a computer in your first post. Sorry for sounding like a dick!
