In this video, we're doing a deep dive into all the factors making this new era of human strength possible.

In defense of banning screens

Oct 9, 2024 | middleburycampus.com | Daniel Allen

Almost all of us would do better in class if we took notes on paper and did our readings from physical books. I will be the first to admit it: I love to take notes with my laptop in class.
