Why not just equip phones with accelerometers? The phones would disable some or all features when the phone got up to a predetermined speed. Then again, if they, being the USDOT or other orginization, use the same contractor that NASA used to build the Genesis reentry capsule, the phones would prolly turn on when the car got up to speed anyways.
The best my high school could do in 1998 is have a lab with 25 Apple IIGS connected over a phoneline type network to a Mac Classic for printing. All they really taught us to do was play some Odell Lake and type a document with Appleworks. Thankfully I had my own PC at home and taught myself how to use a computer. The school finally invested in some PCs in 99 and even got an ISDN line to use the internet. The upside of all of this is that alot of people taught themselves how to use a computer, and ended up being all the better for it.
