Question: David Scotton  in I Lived on Parker Avenue (trailer image via YouTube)
A documentary about a young man who is grateful to  his  birth mother as well as to  his  adoptive parents.
Do you want to meet gratitude? Then  David Scotton âs your man. At a time when we are taking public-policy advice from traumatized  grieving young students  consider this eternally grateful one.
 David Scotton  is a 24-year-old law student with a little movie with a big message. Adopted at birth   he  allowed  with some hesitation and prayer  a filmmaker to follow along  his  journey from New Orleans to Indiana when  he  was 19 to meet  his  birth parents.
The other day at the Sheen Center in Lower Manhattan  I heard George Weigel  the John Paul II biographer  assert that people of heroic virtue are all around us. Saints  they are frequently known as â in this case  though  not canonized and in Heaven but living in our midst  often unaware that they are sources of great grace and inspiration.  David Scottonâs  birth mother is chief among them. And all those things about saints is true of  her   if the documentary I Lived on Parker Avenue is any indication.
One of the first things  she  wants to do is seek forgiveness from David. For so many years  this mother  suffered with worry that the boy  she  gave birth to would be hurt by the fact that  she  chose to âgive him up for adoption â as the expression goes. Our language for adoption seems to suggest abandonment when  in fact  it is just about the greatest and most loving sacrifice. I think of the story  from the State of the Union some weeks ago  of the young police officer and his wife and a woman named Crystal who is suffering in the grip of addiction. But  she  wants better for  her  baby. And there is a couple who can help  her  realize that aspiration. As there was in the case of  David .
Melissa had the added guilt that she and her boyfriend not only considered abortion when she was pregnant with  David  but that she went to the clinic. In I Lived on Parker Avenue she describes the dramatically painful scene she ran out from. In one of the most uplifting scenes Iâve ever watched on video  Melissa and  David  visit the spot where that clinic once stood. (Itâs a health clinic now  and abortions are no longer performed there.) For him  itâs like the opposite of a memorial dedicated to some grave event. It was there where he was given new life  even in the womb. She should feel no guilt. She gave life and love to  David  and to  his  adoptive mom and dad.
The beauty of I Lived on Parker Avenue is that  in some respects  it isnât primarily about abortion or even adoption  though promotion of âthe adoption optionâ is certainly this young manâs mission. Itâs about gratitude. One of the most compelling scenes of the 30-minute film occurs when  David  expresses in letters â personalized and everything  there are communications beyond text messages still! â what his adoptive family means to him. He wanted to assure his parents and extended family and friends that meeting his birth parents had nothing to do with finding his âtrueâ parents and everything with saying âThank you.â
âWith only two adoptions to every 100 abortions in the United States  and with the stigmas society still unfortunately shares about adoption  it is important to get this film out there â  David  tells me. âEven though I am adopted  I am no different than a biological child. Even though my parents are my âadoptiveâ parents  they are my mom and dad. My âbirthâ parents are exactly that: birth parents. Those distinctions are real and need to be shared.â

Answer: David Scotton


Question: * * * France isn’t the first killjoy to quit the smartphone party. In 2015  the Canadian artist Garnet Hertz invented a cheeky device called “Phonesafe ” a masochistic lockbox designed to incarcerate smartphones for a set period of time. Hertz meant Phonesafe as a provocation  but the same idea quickly became a product. Today  you can buy similar  but mass-produced  containers on Amazon  and multi-phone lockers have become a mainstay in corporate offices and schools around the world. A McDonald’s in Singapore has even installed a locker designed to promote “family togetherness” and face-to-face conversation. If you attend a Guns n’ Roses concert or a comedy performance by Dave Chappelle  ushers will require you to lock your device in a neoprene pouch and take it into the show in that state.  The phone-locking pouch  made by a San Francisco company called Yondr   has a wide opening at the short end for inserting a smartphone. A magnetic locking mechanism  similar to those on anti-theft tags in retail stores  engages to hold it closed. After the show  this clasp is swiped across a counter-magnet  which releases the lock.  Yondr  is a surefire way to cut down on bootleg YouTube videos. In Wired  Alice Gregory recently took a tough look at the device. Gregory recounts her experience at a Chris Rock performance  where audience members waiting in the lobby had to forgo smartphone usage. The affair reduced them to “a roomful of jonesing fiends ” as she puts it. Ultimately  Gregory connects  Yondr  to a thorny question about civil liberties: the right of the people to keep and bear smartphones.
It’s an ironic conclusion  because  Yondr  is sold as a tool to provide freedom  rather than to take it away. To “Be Here Now ” as the company’s tagline puts it. It’s a promise to deliver presence—a tricky calling  to say the least. Presence has a long history in religion and philosophy  from Buddhist practices to the metaphysics of the 20th-century philosopher Martin Heidegger. Today  presence is most common in the various mindfulness trends that have overtaken individual and corporate life  in Silicon Valley in particular—collectively the critic R. John Williams has called them “technê-zen.” Cutting through the history and the rhetoric  it’s productive to think about presence in terms of attention. You’re present where you focus your attention—and you only have so much attention to pay. In the case of Chris Rock  he wants attention directed toward him  live on stage. Rock’s show might involve awkward improvisation or new material that he doesn't want circulated online. Teachers are less concerned about copyright than comedians are  but they still demand attention. I have tested Yondr’s effects on mind-wandering in classroom experiments with Dan Smilek of the University of Waterloo Vision and Attention Lab. Our research is based in part on the assumption that instructors want students to focus on the course materials  and not on Instagram  Facebook  or other distractions.  Yondr  can be a remarkably effective tool for enforcing digital abstinence in these contexts  thanks primarily to  its  portability. Rather than locking away devices inside lockers  or even inside a disused Catholic tabernacle  as I have done in a performance piece   Yondr  buffers the anxiety of being isolated from your device.
Given that the mere presence of one’s smartphone can reduce cognitive capacity   Yondr  offers a way to surf between the waves of a device’s presence and absence. You can hold it  but you can’t use it. This might be an especially important balance in classroom situations  where students see a teacher’s “phone shoebox” as an unwelcome imposition of authority. * * * Needless to say   Yondr  is still an imposition. And controlling attention requires more than just locking a device in a binge-breaking neoprene pouch. Joelle Renstrom has reported the results of her own  Yondr  experiment in a class at Boston University  where she had her 30 students lock away their devices over the course of a semester. At first  37 percent of the students found the policy annoying  but by the end of the term that figure had dropped to 14 percent. Those are promising  if tentative  results  but Renstrom’s anecdotal comments about the experiment may be more instructive than the data she collected. Renstrom describes her students’ initial experience of Yondr as “akin to caging a pet  a clear denial of freedom.” Moreover  she observes that some students left their cases unlocked as a sign of rebellion  even though they didn’t remove the phones from them. Rather than becoming “active resistors to technology ” as the scholars Christine Satchell and Paul Dourish call people who choose to ignore their devices   Yondr  users are ultimately the victims of technological disenfranchisement. When implemented as a mandatory smartphone prophylactic   Yondr  becomes a means of control  not of choice  let alone of presence.
Such top-down tactics might be enforced easily at live performances  as one of my research assistants observed firsthand at a Chris Rock show in Niagara Falls. However  as a daily ritual for high-school students  all-or-nothing digital abstinence enforced by an authority figure seems destined to backfire  possibly leading to rejection—or even worse  a legal complaint. In an attempt to tackle this disciplinary problem  I have been offering workshops to schoolteachers that riff on and revise the design Yondr originated. In the workshops  I provide a kit that allows students to make their own digital abstinence case  but with an obnoxiously loud Velcro enclosure rather than a silent  magnetic clasp. This semipermeable design—the Resistor Case  I call it—is intended to promote self-regulation  not authoritarian control. The Velcro acts as a gateway to conscience: It provides just enough resistance and noise to make its owner think twice before opening it. Michael I. Norton  Daniel Mochon  and Dan Ariely coined the “IKEA effect” to name the increase in value people assign to self-made products. With the Resistor Case  I’m counting on a similar effect  that students who fist construct and then choose to make use of their DIY phone lockers might be more compelled to use them. Of course  the kit will only work if the teacher provides a context for it that includes a discussion of responsible smartphone use. (The kit provides a series of cards to prompt this conversation.)

Answer: Yondr


Question: To do so   Brooks Goldade  director of digital experience at B-Dubs   told CNBC that the company is looking to bolster technology that is anticipatory.
"Anticipatory is really being led by the tech giants  the Googles and the Apples  who are trying to figure out what you need when you need it or slightly before you need it "  he  said.
 Goldade  said that Buffalo Wild Wings has already built in some of this technology into its platforms  so that it can change how its customers interact with the brand.
 He  said that part of the company's plan to engage with diners is through "personalization layers" on its website  which track things like a customers' location. Through this data the company can make customers aware of local deals and target areas with specific sports rivalries.
While engaging its digital users is a priority for the brand   Goldade  said  the company  will always put the food first. The revamp of  its  website transformed the ordering platform to focus on convenience  customization and letting diners see the food they are about to order.
 Goldade  said the brand wanted to "engage your brain in a way that makes you hungry" by having large photos of Buffalo Wild Wings' burgers  chicken sandwiches and wings in the online order form.
"I don't want to think about adding bacon  I want to see it "  he  said.
 Goldade  said that Panera is the leading player in providing a visual element to the ordering process  noting that the soup and sandwich company provides its diners with images of its food online and through its ordering kiosks.
 Goldade  said that currently more than a quarter of takeout orders for Buffalo Wild Wings' company-owned locations are made through digital channels like mobile and online.  The company  hopes to see this number increase as  its  online platforms allow for more customization and convenience.
 The company  declined to provide more specific sales information.
