I didn't get a phone until after high school and everyone else had one.

I didn't graduate salutatorian, I was miserable and lonely because I got left out of anything outside of school by my friends because I didn't have a phone.

I still don't have many friends to this day and I sometimes wonder if my lack of a social experience in high school crippled my ability to develop friendships.

So I mean.. maybe there's different outcomes. Not having a phone doesn't automatically make you productive.
