Barry Cooper is a professor of political science at the University of Calgary. He is the author, editor, or translator of 35 books, most recently “Paleolithic Politics,” and has published nearly 200 papers and book chapters.
Something odd I’ve noticed about University of Calgary students and, having just returned from a big American university, about students continent-wide, is the nearly universal use of smart phones and the nearly constant monitoring of Facebook. Smart-phone penetration of the student population must be closing in on saturation. It’s a marvel there are so few collisions.
