Students Create Tech-Free Zone

A group of Western Kentucky University students protested technology this week, creating "portals" inside of which cell phone conversation and iPod listening were discouraged. The group, which calls itself "Students Opposing Silence," argues that technologies like these have isolated students. One student protestor wore a sandwich board that printed "Face-to-Face" on the front, and "Facebook" crossed out with a line on the back, the WKU Herald reports.
