An amusing letter about maintaining focus in the "always-on" mobile network environment. I fear, though, that if first-years actually saw this, it would read as something between "eat your broccoli" and "get off my lawn." (In fact, I fear it reads that way to staff and faculty too.)
I'm intrigued by the finding that 49% of students who use their mobile devices in class have done class work with them. Of course, that doesn't address how often they use a phone for class work instead of recreation... and it does mean 51% of students who text in class have never been on task.
