Summarise and paraphrase the extract (for audience with limited knowledge of mobile technology):

Technology is undergoing revolution though human beings are also changing. The recent years have seen a groundbreaking advancement of mobile technology. Hardware, software and network communications are involved in the development of mobile technology. Mobile technology leaders such as mobile device manufacturers and mobile services/apps developers are therefore competing to attract the increasing numberof mobile users with their advance feature.The first mobile phone company to begin its trip to Bangladesh is Grameen Phone, founded in 1997. Later four more GSM operators (Banglalink, Robi, Airtel and Teletalk) started their operation in Bangladesh. In the recent year, the increasing number of mobile phone operator with advance features make remarkable changes in Bangladesh as compared to previous years. Recently, 165.572 million people use cell phone in Bangladesh [btrc, 2019]. And total number of internet user in Bangladesh according to BTRC (Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission) till December, 2019 was 99.428 million where 93.681 million use internets over phone, 0.005 million use internets through WiMAX [Islam et al, 2009, 2012, 2016, 2016, Awon et at, 2012, Halim et al, 2012, Tai et at , 2016 ], 5.742 million use internets through ISP+PSTN [btrc, 2019]. According to Bangladesh Demographics Profile 2019, 59.21% of total population are between 15 to 54 years of age. This is a large portion of people who are the possible heavy internet user. While cell phone technology has grown greatly in all sectors in Bangladesh, we cannot overlook the negative impacts of cell phones [Bangladesh demographics profile].Most studies on internet user have shown that participation on social media activities improves one`s social development, others have shown to the contrary. It is also found that social media like whatsapp distracted students from completing their studies, damaged their language skills such as spelling and grammar and disturber their concentration when in class. n [Yeboah et at, 2014] the authors indicated that students' academic performance was adversely affected for social media. Students faced challenges arising from their frequent use of social media, which included the need to messages immediately, the exposure to false or unregulated information or social contents, mobile connectivity and addictive-like behaviors which disturbed their studies [Ahad & Lim]. Internet use among college students undermined self-regulation and was associated with depression. Another study on the effect of mobile technology on human relationships shows that face-to-face communication with their family members and friends had reduced because of the attraction of mobile technology.
