Does digital devices really help college students? Today the focus of students attending college is clearly on preparation for the workplace. As a college student I do observe how digital devices are a big distraction to many students. Grades can be affected for many students due to the amount of distraction that is being spent on digital devices. Placing a strict rule to banding digital devices in class will cause a lot of disappointment within the students. If banding the devices amongst classes, students will be forced to write instead of having to use their devices. In result, students can have better grades if they decide to put effort into it. Disciplines all offer different ways to learn about people and the world around us. It is the students decision to choose whether if they want to be disciplined or not towards digital devices. As Wilcox mentions on the article, “ Students who are already more disciplined are more likely to turn their phones off during class” (Paragraph 13). Those students are more worried about their education than what is being discussed on the Internet. The disciplined students will know when to put their digital devices away. Removing digital devices for college classes can result more attention coming from the students.

As the Wilcox indicates, “particularly when clickers and peer instructions are used to stimulate engagement in the learning process” (paragraph 3). They require different skill sets and approach research and learning in different ways. Some of these ways resonate for some people but not others, this does get students to pay more attention due to the amount of percentage this can affect their grades. As a student I know this technique does help prevent me from using any digital device just because I know I cannot miss the question. The more professors we have for demand towards clickers, there will be an increase of students paying more attention just how the study shows. If digital devices are banned for any college lectures there can be an increase of students paying more attention. Learning what makes the world tick and how to engage research and help understand problem solving are the workplace skills. Technology can be handy-dandy tool that facilitates the process, provides access to data and other information that connects scholarly communities of interest to students. Though there are many other different ways to facilitate to tools, such as libraries. Technology has made research from all over the world available at our fingertips, yet we are not limited to what is in the stacks in the campus library. Technology has made processes in a much smoother way. At the same time these processes can be faceless and frustrating because many students do not use their campus libraries instead of their digital device. Since digital devices are much easier to access and receive better solutions, they increase the amount of using devices. Learning how to interact with other students can be a workplace skill that should be learned in college and can be helpful as a resource. Technology provides advantages that were not available to past generations, but also has drawbacks. It has affected a lot of students due to the lack of attention that is put towards lectures. As the author states, “the laptop users are getting distracted by Facebook or other things they can do during class” (paragraph
