20+ years feels like a very long time for this to be the norm. Smartphone hegemony in general isn't that old.

Close to twenty years. First iPhone was 2007, I got my first one in 2012 or so.

Before smartphones, texting during class was very common when I was in high school. That’s more or less how I learned that 9/11 happened.
