I don't care. Mostly because we already have examples of what classes were like without them and the people who are reliant on them now will adapt and learn to cope if they're taken away.

Additionally, people only think about what phones could be used for in class that they'd disapprove of, rather than things it might actually be useful for. I've personally had great success with recording lessons/lectures, and being able to refer back to them. This allowed me to ask more questions and take more time to understand the subject. Taking photos of diagrams? Awesome. Having a note document that I could reformat that was legible? Awesome.

I exclusively wrote everything down with a pen, since I was not going to bring a laptop everywhere and somehow get it to stay powered for so many hours. Not to mention that it would have been terrible to draw schematics etc.

The best were those courses where you could prepare a "cheat sheet", so then I go over everything and put key information and formulas into a word document. So I go over my notes, then have to filter them and then write the key things again. Maximum retention, as I can tell you 10 years later.

My issue is that I type faster than I write. I think instead they should push for something like audio/memo recorders.
