I am happy to teach computer history at a fine arts university. Besides, I also work with small kids. Part of my job is to pry phones out of their hands—not the most pleasant part of the day. This is partly because (as with every mandatory intervention) it stirs up more chaos than it prevents. Still, the phones really make the kids crazy. Behavioral modification and adaptive algorithms make us crazy–that’s their job after all.
