I don’t wanna click. Too easy to cheat?
The article is about how smartphones have made people lazy. So incredibly lazy that some people aren't even reading short articles from reputable sources, but are instead using smartphones to write comments on the internet begging strangers to summarize things for them.
That was brutal.
Ha! Funny.
I made this 5 second comment just before bed, so it wasn’t so much being lazy, but not having time to click on anything else before calling it a night.
And it worked out because someone else was kind enough to give me a TL;DR and I got to bed on time.
Nah, people are just better at prioritizing.
Seems to be a combination of students too distracted playing on their phones and difficulty policing behavior on social media bleeding into school time. They give an example of students filming a student being bullied on school grounds and the video being uploaded and shared on social media. I'm not sure banning smart phones during school hours is the right solution, but it's certainly a tricky problem to deal with.
