I REFER to recent reports on the use of mobile communication devices in school. Approving the use of such devices as a learning tool may seem like a natural thing to do in this digital era. But then again, it involves children who are not mature enough to use them wisely.

Adults often have to be told to stay away from social media or surfing the Internet for non-work- related matters during office hours. Some companies, especially in the sales line, request that the employee’s phone is put away during work hours and picked up only when they leave work.
