These UC Berkeley Students Are Leading the Fight Against Phones | KQED
""It was different this morning because I was able to recognize there is life around me. And we probably should talk to each other more and just listen to what the world has to offer rather than just what our phones have to offer.""
""People would either completely ignore the sign, or they would come up and say, 'Oh my goodness, I've been waiting for someone to help us with this.'""
Students at UC Berkeley organized a phone-free party at Memorial Glade, featuring games and live music. The event, hosted by Project Reboot, aimed to help students reset their tech habits. A survey indicated that 78% of students felt their phone use hindered deep thinking and creativity. Participants, like Ashlyn Torres, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to engage with their surroundings without distractions. Jonny Vasquez advocated for reduced screen time by encouraging students to join the movement against excessive phone use.
