I think no smartphone ban is a little harsh. It's needed for modern banking or interacting with government services or for job hunting or even work. Even the government hands out free smartphones via the Lifeline / "ObamaPhone" program

There's a PC alternative for all those. And even a computer free one.. at least in my EU country. To me it would not be a bad idea, and the governements should ensure it's still possible to do all those things without a smartphone.
