Introduction Since time immemorial, humans have always created new ways to connect with each other and educate. They spread their knowledge and ideas through letters, books, radios, and newspapers. However, the sudden boost in the development of communication technology at the end of the 20th century transformed the ways of cooperation and teaching. Smartphones were introduced to the consumer public relatively recently; however, they immediately integrated every industry, including education and business. Nowadays, it is hard to imagine a businessman who does not use a mobile phone to connect with his or her employees or business partners. Teenagers generally conduct most of their research through Google or eLibraries, which are easily accessible through mobile devices. That being the case, one can confirm that mobiles have a huge influence not only in everyday life of humanity but in business and education as well. Main body The use of mobile phones caused significant changes in students’ attitudes toward education. Nowadays, the access is instant to any information, from academic books and articles to sewing and cooking tutorials. Young people are absorbed in the endless opportunities to get new knowledge and communicate with each other. However, for teachers and parents, such enthusiasm in using technologies for whatever reason may present a serious problem. According to Clayton and Murphy (2016, p. 100), “not all teachers are trained or comfortable with guiding students through media production.” It mainly has to do with the fact that some teachers, especially those who got their degree in the 20th century, do not have the right training to use online resources in teaching. Moreover, a number of teachers are convinced that students are addicted to their mobiles, making the process of education very challenging. In her article, Kiema (2015) claims that many teachers have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to phones out during class since they assume — most of the time correctly — that their students are using them to text friends or update their various social media sites. However, she also suggests a straightforward way to guarantee that students employ their mobile phones or tablets in classrooms only for educational purposes. The usual teaching while facing the whole class should be modified to having no standard front of the classroom whatsoever. After all, students use their phones not only to chat with friends but to do scholarly research, make notes, and look for necessary data. Banning them from using mobile devices at school is putting a harness on their opportunities to learn, and is a huge step backward. Besides, since online resources have already deeply integrated into the educational process, young people will inevitably find ways to use mobiles anyway, if needed, discreetly. Several kinds of research demonstrate the impact of electronic devices on education. Some researchers argue that using educational technologies and the Internet is offering considerable advantages for presenting a collaborative learning experience (Newlin, Addam and Harry, 2019). Mobile phones provide students of all ages with a rich learning experience. Th
