Do we want students to pay attention to professors' lectures? Only if we want them to learn something from their expensive college experience.
Are they learning something? It's a serious question today.
When you look at a class lecture and see the students with open laptops before them, you naturally suppose they're all taking notes. But, sadly, that's not the case. Many don't have the discipline to ignore the obvious distraction potential of an open laptop. As usual, the student who can discipline him/herself to focus will have the rewards.
