What’s lost on these students is… does anyone use an actual printed dictionary anymore?

Netizens provide their comments on this new product:

Qian–touch-soul:
This can only be used during English class.

刷个檀木:
Do you take your teacher for an idiot? While the teacher is giving his lesson on the podium, you’ve got either a cell phone or a dictionary in your hands. It’s so obvious at with one glance.

那是一个疯狂的年代:
Gosh, now I want one too!

北京交通大学海滨学院校园微博:
Not a bad idea.

黄老吉修远路漫漫:
Hee hee, and now I know. [nefarious.emoji]

陈长飞1976:
Young people will be ruined by cell phones! It’s like a drug!

Joann叮叮:
Bad influence

开心木木段小兵:
Whatever the motivation was of the people that designed this, this remains a disappointment.

Magic_by_design:
Previously, student would have to dig out a hole in a real dictionary to hide their phones in. [laugh.emoji]
