This week in Hot Chocolate and Current Events, our weekly effort to help homeschool families dig into what's news, we're talking tech.

Some of Apple's shareholders have called on the company to put more limits on how kids can use its iPhones. Read this article from BBC News, and enjoy the discussion!

  • Do you think kids have a smartphone addiction? Big kids? Little kids? What about grown ups?
  • What do you think makes smart phones so addictive?
  • What harm do smart phones cause? 
  • On the other hand, what good do smart phones do?
  • Do you agree with the shareholders that Apple's reputation will be damaged if they do not do something to stop excessive use among kids?
  • Should Apple have notifications switched off by default? Get rid of them altogether? 
  • Do you believe "addiction" is a good term to describe our relationship with smartphones?
  • Do you agree with Apple that they have "always looked out for kids"? 
  • Who bears more responsibility for how kids use smartphones: Apple or their parents? 
  • If you were the CEO of Apple, how would you respond to the stockholders' letter? 
  • Do you think Apple will do anything to respond to the shareholders' concerns?
