Research has also indicated that there is no difference between genders in the overall usage of Internet. There are, however, differences in the way the Internet is used indicating that females are more prone to use the Internet for communications purposes while the males play more games and search for information

use of computers is stereotypically regarded more as a male activity

The cell phone can truly be regarded as a necessity of modern times.

Thus one can reasonably expect that the behavior regarding the use of cell phones will continue to change especially with the emergence of smartphones, and particularly so among younger people.

Young people are very dynamic consumers of cell phone related communication products and services.

Thus, it is important for researchers and mental health professionals who discuss with adolescents parents, their exposure to new media including television, internet and cell phone so that prevention can be made for improvement of mental health and well-being of adolescents.

survey found that adolescents who play more than one hour of video or computer games daily were rated as having more attention difficulties

Studies of adolescent's online activities found that they predominately use the internet to communicate with friends by instant messenger and email, for entertainment purposes, for social networking and for playing online computer games (Willoughby, 2008). In recent years, adolescent's cell phone ownership has rapidly increased.

At the same time, media use is, at, an, all, time high. Youth today spend anywhere from one third to half of their working hours with some form of media. They are engaging in more than one media activity at a time, called "Multimedia Tasking" (Foehr, 2006).

There is no doubt that today's adolescents are confronted with a media environment that is very different from the one faced by their grandparents or even their parents.

Falleiro (2016) reported boys spending more than girls; and strong association between ownership of smartphones and use. A study of 197 participants (Kwon& Lee etai., 2013) reported that persons with lower education levels were more likely to have smartphone addiction. Naik, Kadam, Patii, and Gore (2017) reported excess use of mobile phone is significantly associated with age and stream of education.

The usage of females was again attributed for maintaining social relationships.

A study by Pawłowska and Potembska (2012) on 291 participants reported gender differences in mobile phone and internet usage. Results indicated strong association in boys between mobile phone usage and use of on-line pornography

The smartphone is now not only a tool of communication, but an indispensable instrument of an individual's social and work life.

Positive effects of technology are proving useful in people's daily life. However, it also has negative effects on society such as technology addiction. Cell phone dependency is one of the subset of technology addictions which have become serious problems these days; especially among younger users

We need to stop allowing colleges to increase tuition every year. The next thing we know, it's going to cost more to attend college for one semester than it is to buy a new home!
