I'm probably going to make it a rule that my kids don't get them until 15. I'm 28 and have definitely been ruined by smartphones. My attention span is shit and motivation is hard to maintain when the internet is just right there.

I wish there was a device that only did the bare minimum of email, phone, texting, navigation, and music.

Minimalist productivity-first Android launchers might be what you're looking for.

Those exist, there are a few products intended to provide that minimalist experience.
