A teacher tracked all the notifications her teen students received during class—and what she found puts Pocket into context. The teacher had all her students turn up their volume and marked down every time a “ping” rang out to create “a collective record” of their communication that she posted to Twitter—to the tune of over 12,000 likes. One user created a bar chart based on the teacher’s tallies, showing the students received over 400 texts, 250 Instagram notifications, and 100s of other distractions. (Business Insider)
