Summary | It is prohibited to take a smartphone into your hand while driving - not to text, not to call, and not to check notifications or the time. One can use their smartphone via voice control or if it is mounted on the dashboard as a navigational unit. More and more car-targeted apps are becoming voice operated so as to make them useful for drivers.

Summary | Children learn language by being interacted with and spoken with. Smartphones can get in the way of that, say when a parent waits for the bus with their child. Before smartphones, the parent would comment on the surroundings and interact with the child. Now, the parent might check their messages and pass up a valuable learning opportunity for their child.

Summary | Babbel, Duolingo, and Busuu are currently among the most popular language learning apps. They are great for starters because all that is needed is a smartphone and some free time here and there, for instance while waiting for the bus. In order to learn a foreign language fluently, however, one needs to practice with native speakers.
