New York Times columnist Nick Bilton wrote an interesting piece questioning why passengers need to power down their electronic devices during takeoff and landing.
Bilton writes:
New technologies are often greeted with fear and that is certainly true of a disruptive technology like cellphones. Yet rules that are decades old persist without evidence to support the idea that someone reading an e-book or playing a video game during takeoff or landing is jeopardizing safety.
In his argument, Bilton cites several studies that confirm there is no interference caused by these devices.
Even Alec Baldwin was booted off his flight for playing Words With Friends before takeoff!
So before your next flight, consider signing this White House petition to use our devices in airplane mode while we take off.
