It was true before smartphones came onto the scene.
That's how life was before smartphones.
That was before smartphone and tablets were common
Just like mobile phones had in '90s.
Isn't that what they said about phones before 2007?
There weren't that many smartphones then. Most people were using feature phones.
There were mobile phones decades before any of this existed.
We didn't have smartphones little over a decade ago.
This was not on the horizon when smartphones were becoming popular.
