Answer:

What is the effect of smart phones on Indian Youth?

A smartphone in todays world is like having a constant companion. If we aren’t communicating with others then we are reading up on something or listening/watching something. Its one of the best things to have happened for the mankind but it does have its disadvantages.

More than affecting the way we think we are getting used to “instant gratification” and “google syndrome”. Instead of asking people around us or experts for an answer we rely on google. We dont even take the efforts to think of a solution or try to recall what we already know because the answers are available at a click. Due to this our brains are losing their capacity to remember. It is said that onset of diseases like Alzheimers and Dementia can be prolonged if we keep our brains active and in “thinking and recall” mode, which smart phones are taking away. Also since we get everything instantly we are not able to wait or be patient when it comes to real life. Google gives us perspectives in seconds unlike real life so we have little patience to listen to others.

Since relationships are becoming more virtual we have no time for real life circumstances and all this is making us aloof in a way that we think about ourselves before thinking about how anything we do or dont do would affect the people around us.

It is also causing a cognitive overload with way too much information available at a click, thus overwhelming our brains.

Smartphones are very important and wonderful communicative tools used by all age group people especially Young generation. Without smartphones, one feels incomplete and it has become the need of hour. It has brought a plethora of information resources within the palm of ones hand and has bridged the communication gap via social networking sites. People remain in touch and come to know every development in all walks of life within no time on social Media. The impact of Smartphones is visible in all areas of life including business, education, health, marketing, social life etc. But it is not out of place to mention here that every technology has its pros and cons within. It has also caused various health hazards and brought miseries to people especially children which include Eye strain, Neck and back pain, Hypertension, etc. The present study is an attempt to explore and examine the impact of Smartphones on the life of young generation. A web based literature survey was carried out to find the objectives of the study. Various scholarly databases were accessed to find the most authentic and qualitative information related to the study.

The media landscape has changed dramatically in recent decades, from one predominated by traditional mass communication formats to today’s more personalised network environment. Social network sites, online games, video-sharing sites, and gadgets such as iPods and mobile phones are now fixtures of youth culture. They have so permeated young lives that it is hard to believe that less than a decade ago these technologies barely existed. Today’s youth are struggling for autonomy and identity as did their predecessors, but they are doing so amid new worlds for communication, friendship, play, and self-expression. This paper seeks to provide empirical data on the impact of the mobile technology on the social life of Indian youth. Taking a survey of some 1200 young Indians, the paper discovers their dependency on this new medium.

In today’s life mobile phone usage has become an important necessity of our life. The cell phone industry is one of the fastest-growing ones besides the Internet. Cell phones have gone through a huge change and the market has expanded globally. Cell phone users today use cell phones for more than just talking; the mobile services consumer wireless usage study found that 56 percent of customers used their cell phones as cameras, clocks, calendars, music players, and other non-talk functions. The purpose of this study is to understand the Mobile usage behavior by young customers in India.

India is currently the world’s second-largest telecommunications market and has registered strong growth in the past decade and a half. The Indian mobile economy is growing rapidly and will contribute substantially to India’s gross domestic product (GDP), according to a report prepared by the GSM Association (GSMA) in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The cell phone industry is in the Mature Life Cycle Stage, where nearly all potential customers are already users of the industry’s product.
