"We have set this goal to fly and verify whether they've been there or not," said Dmitry Rogozin in a video posted Saturday on Twitter. Rogozin was once responding to a question about whether or no longer NASA truly landed on the moon nearly 50 years ago. He regarded to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering. But conspiracies surrounding NASA's moon missions are frequent in Russia. Astronaut ...

If I am not careful, my cellphone will wake me up in the wee hours with buzzes or pings to let me know that news organizations and family members on the other side of the world, in different time zones, are trying to get my attention. Is it too dramatic to say that "there is a global war" for our attention? I don't think so. Last year I did a little experiment with students in my Media Economics course .

For a professor leading a class, these alerts could be considered competition. (At left, Christian Zibreg tells how to remove distracting messages from the locked screen.)

I want to share with you my translation of a blog post (Spanish) by my friend and colleague Jose Luis Orihuela, a professor at the University of Navarra, author, and keynote speaker. Orihuela is addressing a problem that faces many teachers and professors: they say their students are distracted by all the media on their smartphones and are not paying attention in class.

You can't teach against the culture of the students. You have to build on top of it." He mentioned a well publicized column by a professor in Uruguay who decided to throw in the towel rather than fight against stu...
