teens should not even have smartphones.

@Tim Tebow... Not sure if you have kid(s) - teenagers, but if you have one, you should buy them a smartphone & teach them about responsibility (it's good parenting). When I grewup, my parent's thought that teens shouldn't own personal computers. :-/ I felt I was living in the stoneages growing up and grew to resent them & thier opinions. Me, I struggled through highschool, stayed late after school to use the school computer. (Sure, I played video games, I chatted & actually got some work done too.) Till this day, my parent's can't live without one.

fact: Smartphones are the new personal computers.

This story reminds me of a mother of a teen who wrote us to let us know that her teen was finally sleeping after using OTTER which is a texting auto reply app that teens (and adults) can use to focus on a lecture or take a nap without feeling disconnected from their social networks. After my three year old daughter was nearly run down right in front of me by a texting driver, I invented this smartphone app to manage texting whether the user is at home, in the office or on the road.

OTTER has GPS based texting auto reply safety features for the highway but it also has a highly rated and intuitive texting auto reply that offers a timer and unlimited, grouped, customizable responses. Its simple and easy to schedule "texting blackout periods" so you can focus on the task at hand - and maybe get a good night's sleep. In OTTER's case, instead of being the distraction - technology can help us get back to doing one thing at a time with quality results.
