I think it was a "partial set-up." You can hear the camera man go "ohhhh.." and even a chuckle as though he knew what was going to happen. My guess is that the speaker said to the camera guy, "if any phone starts to ring, be sure you get it on tape." WHy else would the camera pan immediately to the guy on the phone? Maybe it is a total set-up and the guy was planted, but it doesn't have that "feel" of a totally rehearsed bit.J77 said:Definitely a set-up.
Some people in my old group used to get their secretaries to phone them when giving lectures - just to let the kids now what it feels like.
Plus there's the old urban myth of a lecturer having a bucket of water at the front for any phones that go off - one does go off and sure enough the guy comes down from his seat and drops his phone in the bucket.
Ditto. I think the range of their voice is < 5m. As soon as they are beyond that, they need cell phones to communicate.big man said:It's the most annoying thing for me to see little kids with phones that constantly 'txt'. I mean at school they would 'txt' each other to say that they are 2 minutes from the canteen??
I was wondering about that myself. It's hit TV shows. In an episode of Law and Order, the investigators keep having the young people they're questioning answer 'inaudible' cell phones in the middle of questioning.J77 said:Has the high frequency ring tone phenomena hit the US yet?
Over here, the kids use frequencies which the teachers can no longer hear to communicate with each over (and make dogs go crazy )
me too.tribdog said:Yes, your honor. i'd like to introduce this video into evidence as Exhibit A.
I have a BIG problem with that. Why are the teachers allowing you to sit there with absolutely nothing to do? You should always have something to work on.yomamma said:the teachers even let us txt each other when there's ALBSOLUTELY nothing to do

Using your cell phone during class can be distracting not only for yourself, but also for your peers. It can disrupt the flow of the lesson and impact your ability to learn and retain information.
Even if your phone is on silent, it can still be a distraction if you are constantly checking it or receiving notifications. It is best to keep your phone put away during class to avoid any disruptions.
If you need to use your phone for a specific academic purpose, it is best to ask for permission from your teacher beforehand. They may have specific guidelines or times when phone usage is allowed for academic purposes.
Studies have shown that using cell phones during class can negatively impact academic performance. It can lead to lower grades, decreased attention and focus, and hinder the learning process.
There are many alternative methods for taking notes and staying organized without relying on a cell phone. Some examples include using a physical planner, taking handwritten notes, or using a tablet or laptop for note-taking.
