So? There's cats on youtube that have mastered that skill.
When I was 1.5 I could press the buttons on the TV to change channels, operate light switches, open doors, etc. I bet that was fun to see, too, but manipulating physical objects is a lot more useful as a life-skill.
My mother felt the same way about a computer when I was in my teens. "All you'll do with it is play games" she said. Then some Zuckerberg guy invents this Facebook thing and makes a fortune with it. Why? Because he had a computer as a kid.
Correlation is not causation, horse before cart, etc.
Your mother was 99.9999% likely to be right. Zuckerberg made a fortune because he saw that computerized gossip would be a success. That's a social thing, not a computer-programmer thing.
News Flash: Life happens. Even when you plan on having children, one cannot even remotely plan for every event forthcoming (especially four years later) that would elicit the need for a 4-year old to have a cell phone.
News flash:
Some separated parents don't have as much access to the kid(s) as they would like.
If the mother's anything like the description she's probably already filled the kid's head with lies about misogynist-daddy and a phone won't fix anything.
The agency is required to obtain a warrant from the intelligence court to target a "U.S. person" — a citizen or legal resident — for actual eavesdropping.
They require warrants for all that other stuff they do, too, but that doesn't seem to stop them doing it.
last i read the western countries were mostly reigning in their emissions and its the developing nations that are polluting the most now. except for a few exceptions like canada and norway who have large fossil fuel industries
I think the newer Unicomps have Windows keys on them. They also have USB connection (no bad thing) and come in space-saving sizes (the "Ultra Classic" looks interesting: http://pckeyboard.com/page/category/UltraClassic )
I might look into them when this keyboard wears out.

Every tunnel/bridge into the country is also permanently wired so they can blow them up at a moments notice if anybody tries to invade.
Does that include the eradication of H. Sapiens?
Poop is a very natural, sustainable resource.
My poop already comes out black and tarry. Turning it into crude oil is the next logical step.
My genitals are always HUGE when I'm driving my car.

there are hundreds of studies that show that most fucked up children get fucked up by the home environment they are brought up in,
There's even a poem about it: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178055
I'm not. Even amicable divorces can fuck kids up.
So can not getting divorced and hating on each other all day in front of the kids.
bool
getsCustody(parent)
{
return parent.hasPenis() ? NO : YES;
}
Code like that belongs on the daily WTF... "parent.hasPenis()" is a boolean function.
That thing looks stupidly huge on an *adult* wrist.

Ruining his life with a leash is not a solution to your separation anxiety.
This.
Yep. Sounds like you want this for *you*, not for the kid.
PS: If the mother hates you that much she'll probably just take it away.
Which would bring them what precisely?
All sorts of things. eg. They could see if people are wearing wires, have toasty little computers strapped to their legs, etc.

micro USB is designed for a similar number of connect/ disconnect cycles to the original full size USB
It's actually about 10 times more, but don't let the pesky facts get in the way:

The only surprising thing in this story is that casinos don't have infra-red cameras.
Interestingly enough, the director of the FBI lied to congress and nothing happened to him.
Don't worry, the price of gas will be adjusted to maximize consumption/profits.

The USA is reigning in Emissions? LOL!
Eat bugs? No thanks, I'll stick to birds, fish, and mammals. No escargo or grasshoppers for me, thank you.
Escargots aren't insects...

Um, no it isn't.
You're so horribly opposed to a specific branding of the Meta key that you refuse to even THINK about buying any keyboard made in the past 15 years?
Nope. I'm just horribly opposed to not typing on something that isn't a Model-M.
