Hamster power.
74 isn't that old. You're certainly not a spring chicken but you're not knocking on deaths door. He does have a little extra weight though.
How I met your mother. They saw a cash cow and milked it.
Big Bang theory. It was kinda ok at first, but then it was just bad.
Or did he?
Squats are life.
Yes you can find a way to goof off in any class instead of doing your work. Isn't that the whole point of this discussion? To remove ways to goof off, you know, smartphones. Ban them in class. And just like you can catch people playing video games in computer class, you can catch people using their phone in class. Just because some people will break rules doesn't mean we throw our hands up and say ok then no rules.
You're really comparing this to teaching abstinence? Wow. And then you rage against something as basic as rules, blaming rules for what seems like everything you think is bad. Ok then. Cheers.
half the time to write it down
You're making my argument for me. Although I'd say much less than half, you already have pen and paper on your desk.
I already did unpack it: "Smart phones are a distraction for social media 99% of the time."
Nor did I say the word "just". You're both ignoring what I did say and inserting your own words. They can be distractions with you know social media. But also back in my day they taught us Word, Excel, programming. You had a class with that. You didn't need it in your pocket 24/7.
I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Bugging you until you remember? You write it so that you can't forget and so it stops bugging you.
Bugging you because you need that info itch scratched right now? Aka instant gratification. Then you have to learn to not need instant gratification. Seriously, it's another skill.
Way more than half. Let's separate dumb phones from smart phones. Even smart phones weren't all that capable for a long time.
That's a big ass caveat in your original post. You really need to edit it to include it.
