The International Ecological Footprint Organisation has stated that the ban on mobile phone on campuses would lead to the destruction of 1000 acres of forestland as the ban would force students to use paper to pass comments. It has urged Anna University to reconsider the decision by roping in film stars (not Khu Bush, we are told) for the cause. In a separate news conference,a Finland based research agency has stated that it has made path-breaking discovery that use of mobile phones sharpens the brain and enhances mental capabilities. They further state that the pressure points that are activated while using the thumbs for text messaging activate multi-tasking skills. Empirical evidence supports the claim. Jose, a student of Anna University, says, “I can text message, listen MP3, play Snake and pretend to listen to the lecture, all at the same time.”
