Were we not studying well before mobile phones?

The mobile, not only for students, but to the entire human race, is a disastrous invention. It not only affects your eyesight, but also the neck, shoulder, arms and even your backbone. Everyone has become addicted to this and cannot quit, even though they are well aware that this is spoiling their health, time and money, in particular homemakers and students. Coming to students, one could claim that it is very useful for studying. Particularly since teachers and class or group leaders can send messages even late at night due to which the student needs to check their mobile every now and then. I have witnessed this myself.

I wonder, before the mobile phone, was life not moving well? Was no one studying well or aware of the latest updates? If you really need to stay abreast with the latest technology, why not use emails to communicate? Besides this, why don’t they plan well in advance, instead of using WhatsApp? Someone has to bell the cat and the big question is: Who?
