Every attempt to prevent cheating in that way is a huge pain full of edge cases and false positives, and is usually ineffective. Would be better to either embrace technology and accept that the internet is a possible source of help or go manual/mechanical, but trying to artificially limit a cell phone or laptop is doomed from the start.

Why is using the internet even considered as cheating? After all school is supposed to teach children to find knowledge they want for themselves, and learning to use internet for that is much more useful than learning to use obscure pieace of a technology from 80s, which is not used anywhere else.
