I didn't get my first real phone until after high school, while everyone else had one.
I graduated salutatorian. I was able to focus on my homework after school for hours without distractions. I had a computer at home, but it was pretty crappy.

- tymekpavel 3y agoThere are also many students who have phones in high school and graduate valedictorian, so I’m not sure we can draw any conclusions.

- HDThoreaun 3y agoSure you're able to complete school work without a phone. You're not able to have a normal social life though and for many parents that is more important than academic success.
- frumper 3y agoThis statement makes me question what a normal social life is, or isn’t.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoIt is being able to communicate and organize efficiently. It isn't doomscrolling and posting endless selfies for dopamine.

- bluefirebrand 3y agoI didn't get a phone until after high school and everyone else had one. I didn't graduate salutatorian, I was miserable and lonely because I got left out of anything outside of school by my friends because I didn't have a phone. I still don't have many friends to this day and I sometimes wonder if my lack of a social experience in high school crippled my ability to develop friendships. So I mean.. maybe there's different outcomes. Not having a phone doesn't automatically make you productive.
