Summary | A small festival in Zug decided to ban cell phones so that people can enjoy the festival and live the "present". Smartphones are useful, but it is annoying when people spend most of their time on them. This new rule is a good marketing strategy; it allows the festival to be noticed. However, the restriction couldn't be applied to other big festival such as Paleo Festival or Montreux Jazz Festival.

Summary | Our vision and perception of the world is not only influenced by our body and conscience; it is also strongly affected by our surroundings and the world we live in. Nowadays people perceive the world through screens, they buy, play, communicate, and have access to masses of information. What comes out of the digital world is virtual as opposed to real. It is a “possible real” that didn’t find its true form concretely. Today’s man is constantly interacting; he sees the world differently than our grandparents. Should schools follow this path or get way from it?
