Students already have laptops and cell phones, of course, but the newest devices can take class distractions to a new level

She speculated that professors might try even harder to make classes interesting if they were to compete with the devices.

Providing powerful hand-held devices is sure to fuel debates over the role of technology in higher education

Abilene Christian settled on the devices after surveying students and finding that they did not like hauling around their laptops, but that most of them always carried a cell phone, Dr. Dickson said.

At least four institutions - the University of Maryland, Oklahoma Christian University, Abilene Christian and Freed-Hardeman- have announced that they will give the devices to some or all of their students this fall

the wireless carrier offering the iPhone in the United States, had a more reliable network, said Andrew Yu, mobile devices platform project manager at M.I.T.

Both the iPhones and the iPod Touch devices can connect to the Internet through campus wireless networks

My colleagues and I are studying something called augmented reality (a field of computer research dealing with the combination of real-world and virtual reality)," said Christopher Dede, professor in learning technologies at Harvard University, "Alien Contact," for example, is an exercise developed for middle-school students who use hand-held devices that can determine their location.

The rush to distribute the devices worries some professors, who say that students are less likely to participate in class if they are multi-tasking

A finding that was a bit surprising is that to consumers, the inner parts of high-tech devices do apparently matter.

A quarter of students report that their use of digital devices during class causes their grades to suffer .

Even among people who have bought connected devices of some kind, 37 percent said that they are going to be more cautious about using these devices and services in the future.

For instance, new technologies that are building upon existing technology have not found their footing well enough to appeal to a mass audience, because, in many cases, they need to work effectively with other devices to realize their full appeal.

However, the "screen time" hypothesis, advanced by researchers such as Jean Twenge, is that electronic devices and excessive time spent online may have reversed these trends in recent years, causing problems for young people's psychological health.

If we weren't on our devices,we'd likely do something similarly unproductive.

In response to past critics, Twenge and her co-researchers stress they are not trying to prove that the use of digital devices reduces young people's well-being.

It is still easy to be dazzled by the display of drones, 3D printers, virtual reality goggles and more "smart" devices than you could ever hope to catalog.

Professor sometimes implement policies designed to minimize students' use of digital devices, and some instructors even confiscate tablets and phones.

The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do.

The order essentially asks Apple to hack its own devices, and once it is in place, the precedent could be used to justify law enforcement efforts to get around encryption technologies in other investigations far removed from national security threats.

Their well-being was even higher than those who never used such devices.

They found that adolescents who spent a very small amount of time on digital devices—a couple of hours a week—had the highest well-being.

Think of something as seemingly benign as the cellphone: we have microfinance and text-based social networking at one end of the spectrum, and improvised explosive devices at the other.

Those spending 10-19 hours per week on their devices were 41 percent more likely to be unhappy than lower-frequency users.

Those who used such devices 40 hours a week or more one in ten teenagers were twice as likely to be unhappy.

We can expect that the ever-growing list of devices, systems and environments remain connected, always online and talking to each other.

We've held on to this workday structure – but thanks to our digital devices, many employees never really clock out.

According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.

As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones.

Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.

For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction.

That's bad news for the environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the news ones that do the same things.

The average number of electronic devices rose from 4 per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007.
