Addiction to technology is causing significant loss of productivity

as well as problems in interpersonal relationship. It has been postulated

that rather than a separate entity, internet addiction is a manifestation

of a variety of depression, anxiety, impulse control disorders or

pathological gambling. There have been rehabilitative measures to

correct internet overuse.

increasing technology, student have been found going away from their moral

values. Internet Is Working as Curse for Students character. Rather than using

2015)

It was observed that students now a days are spent much time on

electronic gadgets which affect the study habits and academic performance. Due

to the upgrade of these gadgets in entertainment, student most likely focus on

what entertains them than on what may help them in their studies or for the good

of their knowledge. ( Vilia 2011)

Students often spend more time on using gadgets than studying or doing

different types of physical and spiritual activities. Students usu all use gadgets
