Set of mind --- I agree completely with Stephanie, while technology might affect kids in early ages, parents are the ones exposing them to the online world. I understand that with the IoT kids are getting a bigger exposure to the Internet than we might have had at their age, but it falls unto the parents to control or supervise what and at what age they're exposed to certain things in the web.

Going to Bennette's point if a 5 year old is having a smartphone in their hands is because the parent is allowing it and giving him/her the possibility to do so.

So instead of pointing out how this exposure to the internet can affect younger generations, the discussion must be how to control this exposure, not only for parents but for governments and industry.
