They are now banning cellphones in schools in Nordic countries. But alas, parents are buying standalone smartwatches for their precious brats.

Which reminds me of me in 1950s. I always tried to get seat by the window where the heat pipes run. My crystal set needed ground wire and the antenna could be hidden by the curtains.
