Current Events Quiz #5.1
Short Answers:
1. March 24th
2. Sunrise Tactical Supply
3. The mechanical engineering program and the band's Legacy Fund and scholarships.
4. Norway, Germany, and Canada.
5. Inclusivity/diversity
Long Response:
1. The company who makes these cell phone pouches is called Yondr. The company was founded when the owner discovered the need for this product while witnessing lack of social interaction because of cell phones.
2. Around 600 different high schools across the country have started using Yondr in classes. It's become increasingly popular, and the benefits are clear in San Lorenzo HS.
3. The concept behind these pouches is so that people who invest in them can "lock" away their phones. The reason why is because cell phones can take away attention from more important things, like an event.
4. At San Lorenzo HS, there were many benefits from using Yondr. Grades have gone up and referrals caused by defiance and disrespect have gone down 82% because of the lack of cell phones. This is good because when students actually focus on their work, you can see their true potential and skills shine.
5. I think situations like school and events like parties could benefit from Yondr. Since often even people don't want to be distracted by their phones, it demands their attention anyways. Taking away the source of distraction at the source would be a good idea.
6. As a student, I don't want Bowie to start using them because I do use my phone for school things, like my calendar. Also, I don't feel comfortable without my phone, because often times my parents will text me during class, and I feel I need to respond. But as a person, I think it would be a good idea. I always see kids on their phones not doing work they should be.
7. I think in the future there will have to be some sort of response to cell phones because as of right now, there's a serious problem because people are constantly on their devices. When this will happen, I'm not sure, but soon probably. I doubt people will stop using them completely, or like they used to be, only to call, but when the time comes, it's still a change. The world will benefit from this because people will be less antisocial, which will lead to more friends and relationships for people.
