Yeah, not sure what the bill does when phones are already banned in schools by teachers? (I'm a headline reader so maybe i missed the reasoning)

Young people are either cooked OR the easy access to vast knowledge could help them out. So maybe all we will see is the IQ distribution become much weirder (only people on far sides of the graph, nothing in the middle).

Damn I make good theories.

The problem is just like any generation there's the kids who will take advantage of the resources available to them to better themselves, and then there's the kids that just absorb the brain rot and end up just cooked.

It was fine when they could be contained in factories and kept occupied like the drones they were turned into. Now the drones just wander around causing trouble.
