In an effort to reduce screen time among young people, several universities in France have prohibited the use of laptops and other digital devices during lectures, requiring students to take notes by hand. Among the key institutes taking this decision are the Institute of Political Studies in Rennes, the Free Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology in Paris, as well as Ircom, a private college in Angers.&nbsp;<h2>Focus on reducing distractions&nbsp;</h2>University officials argue that the policy aims to eliminate distractions and enhance students' focus in class, according to a report by The Times. Gabriel Medaouar from the Catholic University of the West in Angers said, “Our lecturers should not have to teach in front of students who are distracted.” &nbsp;&nbsp;He emphasised that students are aware of this policy when they enroll and quickly adapt to the handwritten approach. “When students enrol here, they know that they won’t be able to write on computers. They adapt to it very well,” he told Le Figaro.&nbsp;<h2>Wider adoption across institutions&nbsp;</h2>This new initiative isn't limited to one university. The Institute of Political Studies in Rennes has enforced the handwritten note rule for first- and second-year students. Similarly, the Free Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology in Paris and the political science programme at Ircom, a private college in Angers, have also adopted this approach. Ircom, however, allows exceptions for students with disabilities who cannot write by hand.&nbsp;&nbsp;In some cases, lecturers are taking matters into their own hands, banning screens in their classrooms regardless of university-wide policies. Julien Damon, who teaches at the Sciences Po in Paris, said that although some students type notes, many end up browsing online, replying to messages, or shopping. “Some students do take notes on computers but many reply to messages, shop or go on social media,” Damon said.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some lecturers argue that digital devices hinder the teacher-student connection. Alexis Buixan of Sciences Po in Rennes said that screens make interactions feel robotic.&nbsp;“Sometimes you feel as if you’re dealing with robotised young people who note everything without asking themselves any questions. That dehumanises the teacher-student relationship,” Buixan said.&nbsp;<h2>Psychologists back handwritten notes&nbsp;</h2>Experts suggest that handwritten notes can lead to better retention and understanding. Thierry Olive, a psychologist at France’s National Centre for Scientific Research, explained that writing by hand is slower than typing, which forces students to summarise key points and focus more. “Students go more slowly by hand than on a keyboard and this forces them to select the most important information and shorten their notes so they don’t miss anything. It obliges them to concentrate more and helps them retain more information,” he said.&nbsp;<h2>A global trend&nbsp;</h2>This shift toward handwriting is gaining traction beyond France. Harvard University in the US advises students that handwritten notes can enhance learning outcomes, suggesting a growing international recognition of its benefits.&nbsp;<h2>Push to reduce screen exposure in youth&nbsp;</h2>France appears to be at the forefront of efforts to limit screen exposure for children. Health Minister Catherine Vautrin proposed legislation banning screen use for children under three. While she admits enforcement won’t involve legal penalties for parents, she believes families will comply once it becomes law.&nbsp;<h2>Latest measures against online influence&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>Following the stabbing of a teaching assistant near a school in France, allegedly by a 14-year-old on June 10, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to restrict social media access for those under 15. In a post on X on June 11, he wrote, “This is a recommendation from the experts on the Screens Commission: I'm banning social media for children under 15. Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let's do it.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Old school way: Why are French Universities prohibiting laptops in classrooms?

In the times when employees have only been posting about their toxic work culture and dissatisfaction with their employers, an Indian company garnered attention for being too generous to its employees and melted many hearts.

If you're in the market for a new laptop, this story is for you. A top PC manufacturer has introduced new AI-powered laptops in India. Watch this story for more details.

New Dell's AI-powered laptops: Alienware M16 R2, XPS 16, Inspiron 14 Plus

Amid concerns over import duty restrictions on mobile phones, laptops and other IT hardware, the Indian government on Friday (August 4) clarified that the order won’t come into force immediately and that a buffer period would be given for a smooth transition.

“There will be a transition period for this to be put into effect which will be notified soon,” said Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar on social media platform X.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry in a notification issued late Friday said that the implementation of the new import rules for laptops and mobile phones won’t go into effect till October 31. Hence, the new rules will come into effect on November 1.

<h2>Curb restriction order stoked concerns&nbsp;</h2>

The clarification came a day after the Indian government imposed a licensing requirement for the import of laptops, tablets, and personal computers to help promote domestic manufacturing of these products under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for IT hardware.

The announcement stoked fears that import restrictions could affect supplies resulting in increases in prices.

Chandrasekhar defended the move saying that all is being done to protect and strengthen the domestic manufacturing system from cheap imports.

“This is not at all abot license raj - It is about regulating imports to ensure trusted and verifiable systems AND ensuring India tech eco-system uses trusted n verified systems only that are imported and/or domestically manufactured trusted systems / products (sic),” he said.

The import restrictions have been directed at goods coming from China, Korea and Indonesia.

<h2>Why has India restricted the import of laptops, computers &amp; tablets?</h2>

<h2>'Move will improve domestic manufacturing'</h2>

Earlier in the day, the IT ministry said that the government would be prompt in issuing licences and not create supply gaps in the market.

New Delhi will issue licences for companies to import laptops and tablets within two days. Licences can be obtained online, Reuters news agency reported.

To apply for the licences, companies will have to provide information on consignment origin, number of pieces and past import history.

The Indian government had taken a similar move on smart TV imports a year ago to boost domestic manufacturing.

“India is becoming one of world’s fastest growing markets for digital products including laptops and servers. It is govt’s objective to ensure trusted hardware and systems, reduce import dependence and increase domestic manufacturing of this category of products. It is about regulating imports to ensure trusted and verifiable systems and ensuring India tech ecosystem uses trusted and verified systems only that are imported and/or domestically manufactured trusted systems / products,” Chandrasekhar posted on X.
