Introduction
As the world grows into technologically sophisticated, there is a great demand
for the hottest electronic gadgets. These are cellphones, laptop, camera, MP3 player,
and several cool electronic gadgets. Cellphones support a wide variety of other services
such as text messaging, multimedia messaging, email, internet access, Bluetooth,
business applications, games, photography and calendaring among other services.
Kahari (2013) stressed that cellphone is a very important tool for study as most
of the respondents used their phones for study purposes. Cellphones are increasingly
one of the most popular information access devices and what stands out from the study
is the high use of interactive, multi user functions which can at times be disruptive or
beneficial during study. In essence, the study revealed that cellphones are beneficial for
learning but learners have a tendency to abuse them. The presence of cellphones
presents a host of options and challenges for today’s students. 1
Similarly, Coughlan (2015) emphasized that students are always busy sending
and receiving messages while studying. As a result, they got lower score in the test and
were less effective at tasks such as note taking. This generation of “voracious texters”
might be affected by so many online destructions. When students did not use mobiles,
they were better at being able to recall information. With the exam season under way,
there are family arguments about whether teenagers really can learn at the same time as
using several online gadgets. 2
In addition he said, how well young people could carry out a task, such as
watching a lecture on a video and then taking notes and answering questions, while
facing a series of interruptions on their internet- connected mobile phones. Mobile and
portable devices are now such as a persuasive part of young people’s how a student
could really study at the same time as interacting online.
Candidly, iPod and MP3 players are great gadgets when studying while
listening to music. It would be great if the music are listening is conductive to studying
and it sets a great mood for learners. It is not too loud that it can destruct concentration.
Mobile phones are often described as a major destruction for students because of text
messaging. However, it can also help them with their schedules and let them store
reminders on their school projects and lessons. Noise cancelling headphones are very
important when a student want to study but people in your dorm room keeps on chatting
with each other or listening to loud music. With this headphone you can cancel out the
noise and focus on studying.3
Technology has been found to have its negative impact on academic
performance on most of children. There are many technological gadgets to which
children are addicted. They waste their valuable time on these silly gadgets without
worrying about the studies. This is resulting in their poor academic performance.
This is one of the biggest problems created by growing technology. Children
are future of our country, our world. The sad thing is that due to increasing technology,
children have been found going away from their moral values. Internet is working as
curse for children’s character. Rather than using internet in productive manner, children
use it as source of adult content. 4
It was observed that students nowadays are spent much time on electronic
gadgets which affect the study habits and academic performance. Due to the upgrade
of these gadgets in entertainment, students most likely focus on what entertains them
on what may help them in their studies or for the good of their knowledge. Students
often spend more time on using gadgets than studying or doing different types of
physical and spiritual activities. Students usually use gadgets for media and social
interactions in particular Facebook. Twitter, and other sorts of social networks. Gadgets
affects us in various sort of ways, being one of those effects is how it affects students
and their academics. Gadgets, from simple tools powered by electricity such as light
bulbs involved to phones and tablets. These gadgets may improve or it may be a
destruction and a reason to fail a student’s studies or grades. 5
This scenario motivated the researchers to conduct a study on the effects of
sophisticated gadgets to the student’s study habits.

The Effects of Technology on Students Academic Performance
Most school systems have technology standards that all students must attain
recitative points throughout their education. Educations standards are guidelines that
define the knowledge and skills students should possess during certain points
throughout an academic year. And while the standards differ, the expectation that
today’s student need to become more familiar with technology does not. In fact, many
school systems offer country- wide teacher training for effective ways to implement the
use of various gadgets such as Smart Boards, Memos, and Interactive Whiteboards.1
The Effects of Gadgets in Students Performances Essay
Technology has always been advancing throughout the years. It made a big
impact on people especially on lifestyles. One of the many things that are affected in
the society; having been a common source of information and entertainment.
In our present generation, students are obsessed in using Gadgets. They usually
want to buy the latest release of these Gadgets to satisfy their desires in terms of
entertainment and getting the newest of the new. As a result, students tend to involve
gadgets in their everyday lives including in their studies. Students tend to use up more
time in using gadgets than on studying. These apparently affect the student’s studying
habits and academic performance.
In today’s modern age gadgets has become a way of life. Gadgets nowadays are
a basic need for everyday life style. It helps a lot by doing things easier and faster.
Gadgets help students a lot by doing their projects more productive and progressive. It
is a small thing that anyone could have. Having a gadget may help one’s be more
productive and intellectual. Nowadays, poor and rich have gadgets like cellphones. A
cell phone is a wireless gadget that most people these days communicate with. Gadgets
nowadays are a basic need for a student. Gadgets gave a big impact into the history of
humanity because of its use. The history of gadgets spans as far as back as humanity
itself - since hominids began creating tools to make their lives easier. Humans have
always created devices and appliances with specific practical purposes that were
initially thought of as novelties, due to unfamiliarity with and initial unwillingness to
accept the technology. Today, industry has augmented the creation of new gadgets.
This study aims to know how gadgets affect the studies of the 4th year students
of LJLC. This study will show the researcher how the gadgets can affects the studies of
the 4th year students of LJLC as said in the title. As we know, gadgets are now part of
our daily basis. Dealing with the impacts of Modern Gadgets on our Lives whether we
like it or not, electric appliances and gadgets have occupied a major position in our day
to day lives. Though they were invented to make life better for us in the first place, it is
an undeniable fact that many of the gadgets have a negative influence upon the quality
of our lives in some ways. As we cannot live without them in this modern world and
they are a necessary evil, we have to find ways to reduce the negative impact of those
modern appliances. A gadget is a device or appliance having a unique purpose and
function. At the same time of invention, a gadget is often way ahead of its peers in terms
of novelty and uniqueness. This is what makes them, so desirable and `cool’!
Gadgets affect the study habit of a student in many aspects. Using gadgets a
student start becoming stupid, dependable, and careless and do all his or her works with
the help of gadgets. He also becomes drowsy and wants to do all his works in shortcut.
In this age of technology no part of life is deprive from the impact it has created on life
pattern and so education is no exception. Education has undergone a revolutionary
change with students being seen with laptops, tabs, and other gadgets.
A negative effect of these gadgets on students can be the fact that they can
become obsessive and the students can neglect everything else, like their social life,
their family and friends. Is not a bad thing to have a computer, but is a bad thing to
spend all your life in front of it pretending that everything else doesn’t exist. Otherwise,
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.2
Addictions
It is easy to become addicted to gaming, texting, talking on the phone or
socializing online. Some students may attempt to do this in class, which disrupts their
learning, and at home it detracts from study time. Kids putting in long hours on their
gadgets will give less attention to assignments and may be irritable when they are away
from their gadgets. They might also sleep less, which can slow down their thinking the
next day. 3
Effects of Gadgets on Learning
A decreased attention span is one of the negative effects of gadgets. Before
smart phones and tablets were mainstream, the average attention span was about 12
seconds. However, research suggests this has dropped to about eight seconds, which is
a shorter attention span than an average goldfish. If students struggle to concentrate in
class, their grades may suffer.

Research also suggests that people who spend a lot of time on gadgets may be more
easily distracted, meaning it’s harder for them to complete necessary tasks. 4
RELATED LITERATURE
Some Facts about Tech-gadgets and Services Used by the Present Generation
Mobile/ cellphone
Mobile phone or cellphone is a device that can make and receive telephone calls
over a radio link while moving around a wide geographical area. Besides telephony it
can also provide a variety of other services like text messaging, playing music, e-mail,
internet access, infrared, Bluetooth, business applications, gaming and photography etc.
it was first introduced in 1973 and in 1983 the first mobile phone was commercially
available (Heeks, 2008). From 1990 to 2011, the number of world-wide mobile phone
users grew from 12.4 million to over 6 billion, covering about 87%of the global
population (Saylor, 2012).
Computer/ laptop
Computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a
finite set of erythematic and logical operations. Computer can solve more than one kind
of problem at a particular time as a sequence of operations can be readily changed. A
laptop is a type of computer that can be folded and easily carried out due to its’ small
size and battery support for energy, required to run it. The first laptop was invented in
1979 by British Designer Bill Maggridge. For the laptop producers the year 1989 was
quite successful. Now the laptops are generally used for making programs, storing data,
entertainment (music, videos), accessing net etc. currently the number of computer
users in the world is 900 million to 1 billion i. e. around 80% of the world population
are using or having computers (Woyke, 2012).
Smart Phone
A smartphone, or smart phone, is a type of mobile phone built on a mobile
operating system with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a
feature phone. In early 2013 worldwide sales of smart phones exceeded those of feature
phones. 5
The Disadvantages of Gadgets on Student
Electronic gadgets offer many advantages to students: greater access to
information, increased opportunities for collaboration independent learning and
enhanced communication. However, the effects of gadgets on students are not always
positive. Overuse of technology through gadgets like smartphones, iPods and video
games may interfere with a student’s attendance, ability and interest in learning. 6
The Impacts of Using Gadgets on Children
Many researchers have studied that children spend average of their time on
different telephone, radio, TV, games, Xbox, iPod and stereo system. [1]. Kids use
gadgets for various purposes like playing games, watching videos, listening songs,
chatting with their friends, browsing different websites. They spend most of their time
in these activities and don’t pay attention to their posture screen brightness, and screen
distance from their eyes which ultimately affect their vision and health.
Starring at electronic screen continuously for long time causes distress [2].kids
suffer various problems like eye irritation or have difficulty to focus fo a while if we
are facing problems to cope with screens, imagine how our child’s eyes must be going
through. In this era, we can keep ourselves or our children away from these devices so
we can try to minimize the impact of these devices on our children. It’s really surprising
a 2 year old baby can and knows how to use a gadget, similar to how a kid knows to
use a feeding bottle. A study has been conducted in USA on kids and result shows 1
out of 3 children can use a tablet or phone before they even talk?
In 2013 daily mail reported that 29% of the toddlers can easily use the gadgets
and remaining 70% are master by primary school age. Really surprising! According to
the USA centers for disease control and prevention, an average child spends about 8
hours a day watching electronic screen. As they are growing older the use of gadgets
also increases. Too much gadgets use can also affect the long-term vision problem [3].
Plus chance of myopia also increases in children when they spend about 8 hours daily
on gadgets. When people use electronic screen, they blink less. On an average a person
blinks about 15 times in a minute. Due to the high attention required while using an
electronic screen, this rate can drop to less than 5 times in a minute. A lot of research
has been done on this type of phenomena. This paper describes a positive and negative
impact of gadgets on children. 7
The Positive Impact of Gadget Use
Improve cognitive skills
Cognitive skills are the ability to process information, reasoning, remembering and
relating objects with other objects. These skills are directly related to memory, and
language. Now a day’s technology helps faster and better development of cognitive
skills in kids. The games which they use to play before whether it’s a puzzle or
scribbling on drawing books everything now can be done on electronic devices. Like
interactive apps, video games, different kinds of challenges and educative programs
available on various kinds of devices. Such product would always improves kid
cognitive skills the modern gadgets help to develop their learning skills faster as they
are more interested in gadgets then books. 8
