Meg Veitch, studies paleontology and helps teach some classes. She told The Chronicle that she noticed students were getting digitally distracted in class, but the professor who runs the course, Brian Arbic, didn't want to ban laptops. (He frequently asked students to complete "exercises with the laptop, working with Google Maps, that sort of thing.") So Veitch decided to write down everything she saw and compile it into a PowerPoint to illustrate the issue.
Veitch explained that many didn't even realize how distracting they were being for other students. "You definitely really want to know that the graduate-student instructors are looking over your shoulder and seeing you breaking up with your boyfriend," she said. This happened at University of Michigan.
