Summary | Media scholar Gerald Lembke pleads for a more careful usage of new technologies. He has banned laptops from his classes and was able to observe an increase in concentration and in grade averages. Further, Lembke urges parents and schools not to let children use computers or tablets until they are ten because they are not able to understand and engage critically with digital media earlier. This apprehensive stance towards new media usage is rooted in the fact that people use their smartphones an average of 3 hours a day (young people use them an average of 7 hours a day).
