some negative effects are also there. In some cases, the mobile phones
use has become an addiction and students remain stuck to their mobile
phones during the significant part of their academic performance,
reading, playing and even sleeping. The virtual world they view on their
mobile phones is highly distracting. Students find it fascinating and

spend hours lost in it. It is not only misleading but confusing, too. It also
distracts them from their studies and sports as kids wish to spend more
time with their phones than their books. Overuse of cell phones can act
as a barrier to quality interactions and conversations, leading
to decreased satisfaction in our relationships.

use can lead to feelings of being disconnected when we spend time with
friends and family. Concentration and learning issues.
