Cell phones are an integral part of our daily life as well as university life and culture.
Even a casual observation of today’s university students will reveal cell phones being
used, both overtly and covertly, in every possible campus setting, including the
connected computer, such as online information retrieval, file sharing, and interacting
with professors and fellow students. The results show that a cell phone is a very
important tool for study as most of the respondents used their phones for study
purposes. Cell phones are increasingly one of the most popular information access
devices and what stands out from the study is the high use of interactive, multiuser
functions which can at times be disruptive or beneficial during study. In essence, the
study revealed that cell phones are beneficial for learning but learners have a tendency
to abuse them. Higher institutions can take advantage of the potential and capitalize on
the cell phone for educational purposes because of the intrinsic motivation of university
students in wanting to communicate amongst themselves. Findings of the study also
show that mobile phone designers must take into account how young people use cell
phones for educational purposes. The presence of cell phones presents a host of
options and challenges for today’s students. Cell phones are undeniably convenient,
helpful tools for study and can be a hurtful source of distraction depending on the

Kirschner and Karpinski (2010) demonstrated that Facebook users have a lower self-
reported GPA and spend fewer hours per week studying than nonusers.
Junco (2012a, 2012b) found a strong, negative relationship between time spent on
Facebook and actual cumulative GPA. These negative relationships have been found in
Wood et al. (2012) measured the influence of multitasking with an array of electronic
media on students’ ability to learn from typical, university classroom lectures. Emailing,
MSN messaging, and Facebook use via computer were all investigated as was cell
phone texting. Results showed that multitasking with any of the technologies was
associated with lower scores on follow-up tests compared with students who did not
multitask.
Junco and Cotton (2012) used a hierarchical regression to determine the power of
multitasking to predict actual cumulative college GPA. Results showed that Facebook-
