    Phones aren’t the problem, applications are. No one ever complained about having Nokia 3310s in their pockets.

      Bright colorful screens that mess up serotonin are also part of the problem.

          snake 2 was the best! When I bought my first cell phone from Radioshack and I told them it had to have snake, the sales lady was flabbergasted that I cared about having games on my phone.

        You guys had phones in the 90s? All I had was a tamagochi, and it got confiscated.

      Pagers and cells were banned in my high school. If you needed to make a call you use the pay phones and the parent can call the office. Never been an issue. But at the very least keeping cell phones basic and only for calls would at least help.
