18.If you finally compromised(妥協(xié)) and gave your kid an iPhone or iPad this Christmas,you may by now be wondering if they will ever return to the real world away from that shiny new screen.A British smart mom has published a document that may secure you a full-on teenage eye roll,but it could also help young ones learn to be responsible.Amusingly it's not just a few core principles,but a 13-point contract(契約) for her 16-year-old son David to obey as the lucky recipient(接受者) of an iPhone.
Check this out---
Dear David,
Merry Christmas!You are now the proud owner of an iPhone.But with the acceptance of this present come rules and regulations.Please read through the following contract.Failure to observe the following list will result in the end of your iPhone ownership.
1.It is my phone.I bought it.I pay for it.I am lending it to you.Aren't I the greatest?
2.I will always know the password(密碼).
3.If it rings,answer it.It is a phone.Say hello,use your manners.Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads"Mom"or"Dad".Not ever.
4.It does not go to school with you.But half days,field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.
5.If it falls into the toilet,breaks on the ground,or vanishes into thin air,you are responsible for the replacement(更換) costs or repairs.
6.Do not use this technology to lie,fool,or cheat.Do not make yourself take part in conversations that are hurtful to others.
7.Do not text,e-mail,or say anything through this device you would not say in person.
8.Surf the Internet for information you would openly share with me.If you have a question about anything,ask a person---preferably(更可取地) me or your father.
9.Turn it off,silence it,put it away in public,especially in a restaurant,at the movies,or while speaking with another human being.You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that.
10.Download music that is new or classic.Your generation has access to music like never before in history.Take advantage of that gift.Expand your horizons.
11.Don't take too many pictures and videos.There is no need to record everything.Live your experiences.They will be stored in your memory for ever.
12.Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision.It is not alive or an extension(擴充) of you.Learn to live without it.
13.Keep your eyes up.See the world happening around you.Stare out a window.Listen to the birds.Take a walk.Talk to a stranger.Wonder without Googling.
It is my hope that you can agree to these terms.Most of the lessons listed here do not just apply to the iPhone,but to life as well.Trust your powerful mind and giant heart above any machine.I love you.I hope you enjoy your awesome new iPhone.
Love
Mom
