00:00:01
So the clicker question that
I want to ask you right now
00:00:07
This says polling closed.
00:00:08
Now polling open.
00:00:09
"Did you commit to turning
off the internet
00:00:13
completely?", press one.
00:00:15
"Did you commit to restricting
your internet usage in some
00:00:18
way?" That is, you're keeping
the internet on, but you're
00:00:20
promising not to check Facebook,
or play Angry Birds,
00:00:23
or go shopping at Zappos, or
whatever other indulgent thing
00:00:28
you do on the internet.
00:00:29
If that's your case,
press two.
00:00:31
"Did you put no restriction on
your in-class internet use,
00:00:35
but you're somebody with a
computer?" If so, press three.
00:00:38
Or is it kind of not applicable
to you, because
00:00:41
you're somebody who uses a
pencil and paper in class?
00:00:45
Now it's supposed to be the
case that the timer is
00:00:47
counting itself down, but no,
I've got to prattle for
00:00:50
twenty-eight seconds.
00:00:53
So this is a case--I read
through the papers for my
00:00:57
section, and my sense there--and
I don't know
00:01:00
whether it was a random
sample--is that about
00:01:02
two-thirds of the students
committed to totally turning
00:01:05
off the internet, and about a
quarter committed to sometimes
00:01:09
restriction, and a very small
percentage committed to no
00:01:13
restriction on internet use.
00:01:15
It should be the case in one
second that our slide--
00:01:20
So 43% of you, 43% of the
students in this room, made a
00:01:26
precommitment in the
form of a promise.
00:01:30
It became a precommitment
because you wrote it down.
00:01:33
Just thinking it didn't
make a precommitment.
00:01:35
But you took an action at a time
when you felt yourself to
00:01:40
be cool and calm and reasonable,
and made a
00:01:45
decision at that moment that
you took to be binding upon
00:01:49
yourself in the future.
00:01:51
And an additional 16% of you
didn't draw a bright line at
00:01:56
the turning off internet
completely, but attempted to
00:01:59
put in place some sort of
intermediate restriction.
00:02:04
Now my next question for you is
whether you have strayed.
00:02:10
Twenty seconds. "One.
00:02:10
Not even an itty bitty bit.
00:02:12
Not once." "Two.
00:02:14
Just once or twice." "Three.
00:02:16
Um, well, a few times, but I'm
trying." Or "four, yep, I've
