I could answer your question, but since it appears to be coming out of left field (that is, gf's post asserted that students playing with cell phones is a non-issue for the class, I disagreed - your question relates to the necessity of entertainment), answering your question would only derail the discussion.
I will also assume that you, geekmux, meant a general 'you', instead of an actual, personalized you, because I, personally, certainly didn't suggest allowing students the free use of cell phones. As a matter of fact, students in my classes get one warning before the cell phone takes up residence on my desk for the remainder of the class.
