In human info networks, politicians are huge hubs. They are usually the most connected people in society for very good reasons. So all joking aside about what they get caught doing on theif phone, without them on their phones day and night society would very quickly splinter into groups that have nothing in common with each other.

I assume they would have had (and maybe still have) teams of staffers answering and making calls and knocking on doors

Oh, so these politicians are all doing outreach on their phones? THAT is what you think they're distracted by? Seriously?

Would it though? We haven’t had this tech for that long.

Has it made things better or worse when everything, including non-priorities, can be a distraction.
