Translation: mobile phones

We don’t find it at all strange, nowadays, if we see someone talking to “nobody” whilst walking, whereas ten years ago, we would have thought that person was mad. Of course/naturally, we know that they are on the telephone, even if they are not holding anything. Now that we are used to mobile phones, we have also become much more tolerant of phones that ring at the cinema, restaurant and during a meeting. In the early 90s, there weren’t many mobiles. Now however, those who don’t have one are considered the exception. For/in the case of young people, above all/in particular, life without a mobile is absolutely inconceivable. We have certainly gained a lot in terms of/regarding the comfort and flexibility in organising our daily lives, but could we have lost something? Maybe the capacity not to worry about whoever is not with us: a child on holiday with their friends, for example.
