The two biggest school systems in the U.S. – LA and New York City are set to ban phone usage from bell to bell.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been doing this in my NYU classes and the students like it so much they often mention the positive aspects for going analog for a period in their assessment of the courses.

The U.S. Surgeon General wants warning labels on social media apps – kind of like warnings on cigarette packages.
