"It's a bit like extreme student letter passing" I think this is the problem. The distractions are so rampant, they would have to have recess detentions for a large percentage of class. The more logical solution is just to make it a tablet/cell-phone free zone. Cellphones/the Internet may give us access to more information, but it certainly isn't making anyone smarter. I, like you, went to school in a time where we didn't have cell phones or the Internet and I think I'm better off for it. We need people that can actually figure out math problems, not just Google the answers. Society will suffer because of it.
