A religious university handed out 30 scholarships to students who gave up their smartphones.
, Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio is awarding scholarships to students who are willing to give up using their smartphones and turn to prayer, religion, and contact with fellow students. The school had a limit of thirty scholarships which it reached. But unexpectedly, 50 additional students got rid of their smartphones even though they were not awarded scholarships.
Fox News Chief Religion Correspondent Lauren Green, who reported the story on the cable news station, passed along what she thought was a funny story. It seems that one of the students who agreed to give up his phone was in an airport and had to ask a person for directions . Noting that the depression rate of 15-34-year-olds is 30% of the online generation, Green reported how one young woman diagnosed with depression gave up her smartphone and the depression went away.
