On timing, I’d say that unless you plan to live in wilderness somewhere and limit connectivity options, that it’s going to happen pretty quickly regardless of your position. Even if you don’t provide access to the Internet, once kids start going to school, I expect that they’ll make friends, and at least some of those friends are going to have Internet access, probably in a mobile form.
Yes, sooner or later it’s probably not a good idea to keep kids away from the internet.
My little niece is still way too young at 5, but I’m already thinking about it because at some point she’ll come into contact with the internet anyway.
That’s why I’m asking here — I’m already trying to gather some good ideas for a few years down the line.
