This article reminds me of the traditional classroom, in which the teachers try their best with the help of voices, gestures, facial expressions, instant interaction with students to convey the knowledge to students. But now, the scenario has changed to computer-aided teaching.
Every classroom is decorated with technology. It is a fashion. If some teachers are still using the old method, it seems odd. Here I don’t mean it is not good to use technology in the classroom. Teaching benefits a lot from the digital technology.
But technology brings the benefits, at the same time, it leads to some problems, too. Education and the advance of the society interact with each other. Education motivates the development of the society, but if we can not apply the education in an appreciate way, some problems may appear, as the example in this article.
So my question is “is this wireless classroom the technology problem or education problem”?
I think most of us would agree that this is not the problem of the technology or science, but because we don’t apply technology in the proper way.
Therefore, I suggest the following:
1. Schools arrange the digital literacy course for students to raise their awareness.
2. Schools and families work together to regulate the time, space and situation on the use of the computer.
3. Traditional etiquette education should be strengthened both at school and in families as well.
4. Perhaps most important of all, the whole society should work together to protect the innocent young students in the Internet.

I agree with you in saying that etiquette education should be strengthened both at school and in families as well. Today's young people simply don't know or don't care about how to respect others! We cannot say it's their fault, but school and family moral education should include these issues.
I agree with you that teachers should not allow students to use laptops in class since it is too distractive. However, ask students to shut down their computers is not a good solution, because not all of the students are doing sth. unrelated to the lecture. What if a student is using his/her computer to take notes? Therefore, i do think high tech is a double sword. It brings us great convenience and do us harm as well. Digital distraction in future classroom of China will be the teacher's headache. Actually, it has already!
Digital distraction is really a problem troubling both teachers and students. but I believe there are ways to solve this problem.Digital tech is surely an advance. At the same time, we should not ignore the problem coming with it. Thus, tech can serve us better.
I also agree with your opinion. It's really troublesome for teachers who work very hard on their lectures, while students concentrate on their laptops. strict rules should be applied to curb this problem.
