"A smart phone is like your own personal tutor"

Recommended Posts

I have not seen this but it's not surprising...  

 

All a smartphone does is distract kids... hell, it distracts me.

 

I can't imagine sitting in a classroom now with my phone.  I would never pay attention.

 

 

I suppose there's some argument to be made for having net access while you're studying, but you don't need a smartphone for that.

The ad I heard on the radio had kids talking like historical figures are posting on their facebook timeline.

 

IE "Alex Bell posted again.  Gee, just because he invented the telephone doesn't mean he can blow mine up all the time"

 

Then it goes into the personal tutor garbage.

 

Jimmies are rustled.

I think if used properly a smart phone can have some educational purpose. I'm constantly googling things throughout the day on day things I'm pondering about. Like how things are made or how they work. And I tend use to auto correct as a means to learn how to spell certain words as opposed to a crutch that I have to have.  Not sure it would work in a school system though.

all this stuff makes us more dumber, er!  Remember when we used to have to remember things....how's that for a line!!!

 

now there's no more arguing about who is right or anything...pop out the phone and google it.

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
