And I know that students themselves have, you know, when we've spoken to them at roundtables at community centers or different activities, they talk about a sense of relief in feeling a little freer when they're not connected to the phone. I was speaking to some students last spring who said they go into the cafeteria, and they all put their phones in the middle of the cafeteria table so they can actually have a conversation without being distracted. So I think students are realizing themselves that this is impairing their ability to just socialize and relax a little bit. So so far, so good, but really early days. (19:20–19:28)
