According to Jim Collison(2023) “The use of gadgets such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones
has revolutionized the way we learn and has made the process of researching and completing
homework much easier and more efficient.” With so much information and help online, no student

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Through the years technology has been evolving increasingly, from flip phones to smartphones to
watches used as phones, type writers to loptops to touch screen loptop and radio to basic
television to big screen to flat screen tv and on to smart screen. In today’s world, the internet is
highly influential, and is filled with a plethora of information about many things. For a long time,
phones and the internet have become very problematic because of the lack communication.
Because technology may have a negative effect, it can lead to an overload from the media, to
phones hindering writing skills and online communication can affect face to face communication.
Excess use of electronic gadgets can lead to children spending less time outdoors and limiting their
social interaction. Also it may lead to poor concentration in studies and lack of interest in day-to-
day activities. The dependency of people on these technological gadgets and services provided by
these has reached at such level that, without these, they can’t think a step forward in the direction of
their growth. The degree of dependency is leading to addiction of the tech-devices and services.
Youth is the most vulnerable group among the population to be addicted to technology(Hush Lee,
Jan 26,2018). A negative effect of this gadgets on students can be the fact that they can become
obsessive and the student scan neglect everything else, like their social life, their family and
friends. It is not a bad thing to have a computer, but it is a bad thing to spend all your life focusing
in gadget.
Most gadgets have positive effects because they enable us to do things faster and easier and they
are also good when it comes to learning new things and, let’s face it, they make our life a lot easier.
Electronic gadgets are beneficial in many ways to students. Electronic devices are a boon for
students who do a lot of research online, access online journals, books, or magazines, and attend
virtual classrooms as part of their academic activities. Also may help to enhance speaking,
listening, and creative skills. Students are able to understand concepts better by using learning
apps without any assistance. Technology is the technical means people use to improve their
surroundings. People use technology to improve their ability to do work. “Technology is a major
catalyst for increasing learning”(isernhagen,1999, 30). A number of new technologies are emerging
to support and enhance learning in our schools.” Many of these technologies are not used to
replace traditional teaching methods, but instead used as simple methodologies to enhance
student learning”(Riley, Beard and Strain, 47).This research will explore more about the positive
