Personally I went to school before smartphones were a thing and it was still miserable lmao

I was at the right age to see the transition happen. When I started high school it was all flip phones and some kids didn't have a phone, but by the time I graduated basically everyone had a smartphone and the school added wifi. I remember feeling like the school had a less social feel in my senior year and everyone was just on their phones in the cafeteria
