The Guardian view on children and smartphones: setting some limits is a good idea | Editorial Mobile phone use is not the biggest issue facing schools – or society. But device-free time is important The genie is out of the bottle. With the advent of smartphones and smartwatches, human life has moved online. Anyone seeking to curtail young people’s participation in the online world is as doomed as the fools who can’t figure out how to use the wishes gifted them in fairytales.

Lord Darzi’s report into the NHS is just the start | Letters Pete Lavender writes that the NHS doesn’t need more reform, it needs funding, Prof Geeta Nargund says the Darzi review leaves out gynaecological services, while Dr Karl Brennan flags up social care, and Woody Caan staff morale When Tony Blair was elected in 1997, it was on a platform of “saving the NHS”.
