Digital detox for the next generation, from pouches to phone-free proms
79% Informative
Yondr provides the infrastructure for anti-device social settings with their lockable phone pouches.
Founder Graham Dugoni says we need to treat modern society like a teenager on a rebellious streak.
Pouches are thin enough to see a screen light up, if someone is waiting on an important notification.
Schools, venues, and more go phone-free.
Fern Creek High School has implemented a phone-free program using Yondr pouches.
The school's program cost $ 35,000 , and teachers have noticed positive behavioral changes.
Live event spaces have also used the technology to enforce phone bans.
Critics have expressed concerns about the cost of the program, and some say it could be better used elsewhere.
The phone-free movement exists in a multitude of forms and has benefits for all ages, but it is increasingly focused on younger generations.
# HalfTheStory is an education and social initiative focused on improving the next generation's relationship with technology.
