Phones and Childhood Development

I wonder how the arrival of mobile phones changes parenting and child development.
I was watching a mother (this just spurred the thought NOT because I don’t ever do this myself) on the Metro the other day.  Her 3 year old daughter was sitting quietly in a stroller. No issues.
The mother was tapping away on her phone.
In a previous era, would the mother have been engaged with the kid?
