Big Picture Science - Skeptic Check: Cell Phone Bans
As middle and high schools across the country implement new cell
phone bans, we consider what drove this bold step and what science says
about how digital devices affect our attention and focus. An assistant
principal describes how his school implemented the ban, despite protest
from students and parents, and what happened next.
Guests:
- Alison - 14 year old high school student
- Raymond Dolphin - eighth grade assistant principal at Illing Middle School in Manchester, Connecticut
- Alan - 17 year old high school student
- Gloria Mark - Psychologist, professor in the Department of Informatics at University of California, Irvine, author of book “Attention Span.”
