"I teach theory and practice of social media at NYU, and am an advocate and
activist for the free culture movement, so I’m a pretty unlikely candidate for
internet censor, but I have just asked the students in my fall seminar to
refrain from using laptops, tablets, and phones in class."

Excellent article on multitasking and distractions from the inimitable Clay
Shirky.
