    You do understand that the entire world had those “problems” since forever until just only about 10 years ago or so? It wasn’t a life or death back then, it isn’t now.

    Sure, there are some limited life or death situations where a mobile phone is critical, none of what you describe is.

    Also I was talking about mobile phones in school. They are a deterrent to learning and must go, period. You don’t NEED a mobile phone at school. You take it with you? Put it in your locker.

    Kids having a medical emergency at school don’t need a mobile phone, they need teachers and school employees making sure an ambulance is on the way.

    Its Raining at a club? Well, I drive my bike home and get wet. I’m sorry but that isn’t going to kill you.

    Seriously, whats up with this generation to think that all these new shiny gadgets that they have are critical to life? They’re not. Never were.

    And no, I’m not some anti tech genezer. I grew up with computers, I was almost always ahead of everyone in tech, and now work as a CTO. I simply understand that people get way too worked up about their tech gadgets and moreover, I see the hurt mobile phones do to children, which is far greater than the imagined issues people come upmwith if they were without their phone
