<p>Wow! It used to be only the rich who could waste time in college with their 23 skidoos and raccoon coats, but now it’s everyone. Now that’s progress!</p>
<p>I am a college professor, and here’s my problem. When there was just stone and stylus my students used to pay attention. Now that pencil and paper have been invented all they do is doodle!</p>
<p>However, it is true. Smart phones are addictive. I ask my students to leave class for a moment to text or reive a call, and they do. No problem we have an agreement. If they don’t silence their phones and they ring, if I like their ringtone, they have to play it again.</p>
<p>And I do tell them that when they email me, it’s not appropriate to write, “hey, wassup?”</p>
