Smartphone did do a miracle. But twenty years ago DVD player and VCRs before that did the same.

They were all catalysts in reducing fertility per woman in Bangladesh since the 1970s.

As of 2025, Bangladesh's total fertility rate is approximately 1.89 children per woman, while India's is around 2.0 children per woman.

Both countries have seen declines in their fertility rates, with Bangladesh experiencing a faster decrease compared to India.

The roads nowadays apparently look more crowded. The sight is misleading. The explanation is obvious. People's standard of living has increased. Most people own and use private vehicles on roads instead of public transport. This creates the illusion of bigger crowd. Memes should drive home the point.

Dear Readers,

Please read this because it applies to all the countries in the world, not just the one mentioned here.

Smartphone has defused the bomb of population explosion the world over. Be it China, be it Pakistan, be it Bangladesh, be it India or be it Africa.

Information for the unacquainted: Time that the rural people used to spend procreating is now being spent watching youtube videos. Indian television shows are crap but majority of the population like it and youtube gives access. Internet also gives the simple rural folks constructive ideas about education and employment. And I forgot to mention IPL. All this keeps them busy and prevents them from copulating more.

Finally something that works. Television didn't work. Till smartphones arrived in 2010, it seemed coercive methods were the only way to control population explosion.

Smartphone has done a miracle.

Edit-Add: Internet also has p0rn but that won't affect the effectiveness of Smartphone in controlling the population. Earlier, rural folks would indulge in sex because of complete absence of any other pastime. Indian culture is conservative. Given a choice between clean entertainment and p0rn, most Indians would choose the former. Complete absence of option is worse than a choice between p0rn and clean entertainment. Even if Indians watch a bit of p0rn, they would get over it and switch to other channels like drama shows or even political news.
