Comments by Dominic Malouf Most recent public comments by Dominic Malouf https://nowcomment.com/users/61107 I agree because if phones are banned when kids are in school, when they graduate and enter the real world they will not know how to use phones responsibly. A better approach would be to encourage smart use while they are still being supervised in school https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632765 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632765 Mon, 07 Aug 2023 23:05:01 -0400 This surprises me because a lot of people suggest that when you want to stop paying attention to your phone you should silence it or turn it face down, but apparently just having your phone nearby is enough to distract you partially https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632756 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632756 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 16:26:48 -0500 It shouldn't be just Apple's responsibility to have parental controls because there can be 3rd party apps that control what parts and how long kids can use phones https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632745 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632745 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 16:23:29 -0500 This argument does show good reason for having phones in school, but it would help build independence if kids didn't have contact with their parents 24/7 and instead could talk to them only before and after school https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632734 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 16:18:30 -0500 Shows the difference between how a child can use technology in useful ways instead of ones that don't help anything https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1632723 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1632723 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 16:14:09 -0500 Shows how much of an impact this industry has on the world and why this should be addressed https://nowcomment.com/documents/172222?scroll_to=1632714 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172222?scroll_to=1632714 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 16:10:35 -0500 This attachment fueled by wanting to be in control makes sense because when someone's phone gets taken away from them they get upset because they lose that control https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631611 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631611 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 12:30:04 -0500 I think it's interesting that there isn't always some underlying reason for humans to be attached to their screens, sometimes it's out of laziness that the companies exploit. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631405 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631405 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 10:51:22 -0500 Uses what we know about concussions to find when someone has a concussion no matter what https://nowcomment.com/documents/169293?scroll_to=1624881 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169293?scroll_to=1624881 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 11:06:30 -0500 The overall rates of concussions across all sports didn't seem to change all that much from high school to college https://nowcomment.com/documents/169793?scroll_to=1605773 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169793?scroll_to=1605773 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 12:50:22 -0500 I was surprised that concussion rates in college were almost half of what they were in high school. https://nowcomment.com/documents/169793?scroll_to=1605772 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169793?scroll_to=1605772 This can either be attributed to the athletes having stronger bodies that are less vulnerable to injuries or there is another cause of concussion that is lessened in college sports. Thu, 13 Feb 2020 12:49:33 -0500 This idea if able to be implemented into current sports would be extraordinarily helpful, but the technology required to make it work effectively in all sports isn't readily available yet https://nowcomment.com/documents/169293?scroll_to=1602814 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169293?scroll_to=1602814 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 10:51:36 -0500 I like this idea more than the previously mentioned helmet because the huge drawback to both of these ideas is the cost per helmet, but this one seems like it would be cheaper, but not quite as effective

-0500 This is one of the biggest problems with youth concussions because the kids don't want to pull themselves out of the game and a second big impact can make any concussion much worse
