Really interesting read on the google glass. I’m curious if there’s simpler methods than banning phones outright, given the potential phones can play for safety and socialization. As most carriers still do not offer affordable unlimited data plans, perhaps session control on school wifi could apply sufficient pressure to disincentivize cellphone use without disabling their more important functions.
For one positive outcome, nobody abuses collect calls anymore:
“Hello, you have a call from ‘PLZ PICK ME UP NOW MOM KTHNXBAI,’ do you accept?”
