Are smartphones the “attention killer”? In Austria, (as already in France, Norway and Denmark), the use of cell phones will also be prohibited at school during recreation. Right, wrong? I would say that at school it is there, also because by now with the smartphone you can do everything, even with the use of AI now within everyone’s reach (and often they know how to use the students more than the teachers). The problem is that there are pros and cons, and this is not as simple as it seems. (On the other hand, until just over fifteen years ago nobody had a smartphone in the classroom, therefore ok, but today digital and non -digital life are intrinsically linked). Check them?
It will not be easy, especially for teachers (who should keep the devices, then it might be worth leaving them at home, but I fear, I’m afraid, the anxiety of the parents would arise). Among other things, learning to use technology in class is important, so it is good not to use the mobile phone for its own facts, learning and making it a training use should be part of education (even the use of social networks, which is still foreseen in the teaching of those who ban them), so then they do what they want.
Which is perhaps the real problem of the question, in some way it is also a theme addressed by the teenage series, on which yes
He continues to speak (and is done so well that everyone says his, different from how the other has life). The risk is to take positions
Anti -technological and antimoderne when the world in which we live today is not that of twenty, thirty or fifty years ago. Smartphones are our prosthesis, with all that this entails, for better or for worse. To argue that they create anxiety and depression (many sociologists and psychologists are unique, as on video games) in a generalized way it seems to me to choose the old shortcut of criminalizing a means, ignoring many other factors such as relational isolation (real, not digital, because you can also be less digitally less), social pressures, family relationships, and the same school environment itself.
Even in teenage, this has affected precisely this: that there are no real guilty and real victims, everyone has their part of guilt (for this reason each one has made his own idea). In short, if you have a fever it is not the fault of the thermometer.
