Having friends in your classes is distracting because class turns into a hang out session.

2. Phones
Whether you take phone calls secretly or text non-stop, these small devices take all your attention.

3. Other people’s computers
Funny pictures, videos, games, taking group pictures, etc. The big screen can grab everyone’s attention around you.
