#109: Rachel Bitecofer -The Whole World Is Getting Dumber (And The Smartphone Did It.)

from Critical Media Studies

In this episode Barry and Mike discuss Rachel Bitecofer’s substack article, “The Whole World is Getting Dumber (And the Smartphone Did It.)” We question whether her solution of banning smart phones from the classroom will make much of a difference or if we just have to go “scorched earth” on technology to regain our attention and focus.
