PDAs were banned when I was in high school in the 70's. We survived.
 

PDA's in the 1970's??  What was available in a PDA back then?  I remember expensive. handheld calculators (the HP-35) which were so expensive very few students had one, but I don't remember PDA's.

I know that calculators, PDA's and cellphones are commonly banned at schools in order to reduce cheating, but I haven't heard of a big problem with cheat sheets being passed via hugs   :-)
