Press
Release
In
the wake of support from around the nation, the small town of Ely, Minnesota is
considering extending its ban of social media to include the use of all
electronic devices in and around the area.
Local
officials are urging all residents and visitors to this popular town on the
edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to put their phones, tablets
and notebook computers down.
“You
don’t need Twitter,” one official said. “You can find a hundred forty
characters on any street during a typical summer day in Ely. They’re quite
friendly.” He added there are over one million acres of wilderness, and
hundreds of lakes surrounding Ely, which are better experienced when you’re not
looking down at a small screen.
City
officials are not saying what will happen with the hundreds of devices
overzealous residents could confiscate over the next several months.
