About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of banning cell phones in classrooms and reflects on the nostalgia of a pre-internet era.

There's an article out, from The New York Times, that shows an improvement of students that are in an area where cell phones are banned in the classrooms. As someone who grew up without the internet at their fingertips, the silence of all the present noise is appreciated, but am I only waxing poetically about the unplugging of where we came from in the dawning years of the internet?
