Mobile phones are everywhere nowadays; some might say that they’re a major part of life in many countries. In the United States, it seems like everyone has a mobile phone (most likely a smartphone). Even if someone is homeless, they can post content online, order necessary items, get directions, and do a lot of essential tasks with their smartphones.
