Answer:

The true information about this paragraph is that It is biased, with blanket statements that cannot be proven related to cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

This paragraph does not show an objective point of view which makes it biased according to the authors point of view, and it does not show any proof or evidence that support the statements that is making by saying that the cellphone is the most significant invention of the 20th century, it is full of vague and not reliable information.
