Ever thought about when Kim and Ron graduated they’ll spend their freshman year of college in 2007? You know when social media and smartphones began to gain traction? Would Kim consider it? I could see Ron getting a smartphone and trying to become a social influencer.

Kim and Ron would most likely go to a tri-city university in between the triangle of Middleton,Upperton,Lowerton within Colorado to start their Freshmen semester in the Fall semester of 2006 after Season 4.

The Kim Possible 2002 world is obviously a very different world than ours with an alternate human history, being way more technologically advanced, having magic,everyone having a certain degree of cartoon powers that everyone normally takes for granted (think Ed, Edd, n' Eddy), aliens, ghosts/having a proven afterlife, etc and being uptopic-leaning like most Disney fictional IP properties compared to our...dystopic-leaning world.

But since cellphones were already gaining traction in Kim Possible in 2002 as far back as Season 1 then I'm not surprised social media and smartphones would someday probably catch on since Wade is a supergenius who was mentioned in Season 1 to have worked as a contractor for an aviation company and for the US government in Season 2, so since he is such a big proponent of science he would predictably share his technology someday about the first smartphone ever made in that world=The Kimmunicator!.

Yes that's right, this mean Kim's Kimmunicator was already a smartphone that she had for years already (and sometimes shared it with Ron) and it's even more ahead of it's time than smartphones in our world in 2022, like by a 100 years!, just check it what it can do:

"...given the compact nature of the modern cellular phone, but it is a marvel of miniaturization given all it can do beyond simple communication. In addition to the usual smartphone options, it has world-wide satellite connectivity, two-way video, serves as a sensor device, a jamming frequency generator, a camera, a scanner, and has several self-mobility functions. These include wheels, skis, and the ability to fly on its own...It is powered by a trilithium power cell, an advanced super-battery that can carry enough charge to power much larger devices. This battery lasted almost three years before needing to be replaced, under even the extreme abuses to which it was subjected" (The Disney Wiki, 2012).

So yes I would imagine that they would both totally consider integrating smartphones into their casual, daily lives too. And @princess-unipeg your on to something about Ron being a trendsetter!. I could see Kim, Ron and Rufus showing off themselves as superheroes on social media like positive role-models, a great example of this is something Buttercup did in "The Powerpuff Girls 2016" like from this video clip when she shows off her crimefighting online on a Youtube-esque version of social media called "SuperCut" from Season 3 episode 10 ("Blundercup"):

But as for Drakken/Shego, Duff Kiligan, Monkey Fist, and the other villains, can you imagine them teaming up with social media using their smartphones?. It would make the villains much more harder/coordinated working together as teams during missions with such technology, so it definitely would increase the difficulty of the missions that Team Possible would face against them theoretically. Really interesting idea!

Now with everything taken into consideration and judging from how technologically advanced their world is, smartphones wouldn't have too much of a radical effect like it did to our world. Now if you look at another example "Hey Arnold: Jungle Movie" from 2017, this is a world WAY more similar/copy-paste to our less-technologically advanced world with most of the show taking place in the 90's of course, but taking into consideration that most of the characters didn't have smartphones in that show, but when they were released in that 2nd TV movie we could see a greater impact, like with Rhonda Lloyd:
