Lectures vs. Laptops


I was so surprised when I read this essay. I couldn’t believe many students use their laptops not to take notes but to play Solitaire or Minesweeper during classes. I think it is rude to a teacher and other students who really want to study. There are no students who use their laptops during classes around me, but as Matteo Capone mentioned on the page 203, Cell phones have problems as well as laptops. Sometimes someone’s cell phone rings during classes. Every time I hear the sound, my concentration is disturbed. I live on the campus, so I don’t need my cell phone actually. So, I don’t take my cell phone to classes. If I need it, I would turn off the switch. That is because, at least I, I don’t want to interrupt other’s concentration and teacher’s lecture. I think we should consider how to use cell phones.
