Summary | The canton of Zürich has alotted some funds to go towards smoking prevention. Prevention organizations who try to stop youth and young adults between the ages of 12-25 from smoking cigarettes are sure that the brochures of the past decades are useless today. The digital natives need to be reached on their online channels via smartphone. Simple informative texts also won't do: the teens of today need quizzes, videos, images, etc.

Summary | In the light of statistics saying that people who look at their smartphones more than 60 times a day are at risk of being addicted, teacher Claudia Senn consciously incorporates smartphone use in her class. She lets students research things on their smartphones in class and lets them listen to music while doing individual exercises in class. While she cannot fully control how students use their devices, she thinks it is important to learn about all the affordances of this new omnipresent technology.
