Estonian Tech University Bans Notebooks and Smartphones 134
J-Georg writes "In Estonia's Tallinn University of Technology, all electronic devices — like notebooks, tablets and smartphones — are now banned in lectures held by the Institute of Public Administration. The restriction, which according to the institute aims to reduce factors interfering with academic work, came as a surprise to most of the university-goers. Moreover, it came just a day before the country's Ministry of Education announced a plan that by 2020 all textbooks and other literature would be turned into e-books and in eight years students are expected to start using computers and tablets to access study materials."

I'm in a lecture right now and haven't paid attention the entire time.
I think laptops etc. are a really bad idea in lectures. I should really stop bringing mine.
