Cell phones were banned during my years in high school, and smartphones didn’t even exist until halfway through my final year.
In hindsight, I am thankful for the enforcement as it made for fewer addictive interruptions in attention that I currently deal with in my professional career and personal life at large. Texting under a desk or playing a 2d game on a flip phone was about all you could get away with.
I doubt that my sentiment is very unique here.
