Smartphone Ban

A "Smartphone Ban" refers to a policy or regulation that prohibits the use of smartphones in specific environments or situations. This can occur in various settings, such as schools, workplaces, or public events, where the aim is to reduce distractions, enhance focus, maintain security, or promote social interaction without digital interruptions. The ban may apply to all smartphone devices or may be limited to certain functions, such as internet access or social media usage. Enforcement methods can include physical confiscation of devices, disciplinary measures for violations, or setting designated areas for smartphone use. The rationale behind such bans may include concerns over academic performance, workplace productivity, privacy issues, or the negative impacts of excessive screen time on mental health.
