Abstract:-
The most widely used device for interpersonal communication is now the cell phone. Although they are increasingly more of an apparel trend than a status signal, mobile phones have also led to an implicit societal reliance. Young adults and teenage boys are less inclined to use their phones for texting, initiating calls, browsing the internet, or playing mobile games. Youth and youngsters that engage in feelings behavior are also more likely to want to experiment with associations, norms, even duties. Recreation, knowledge, and interaction with others are all facilitated by smartphones. A cross-sectional study involved 400 schoolchildren, from a few chosen schools in Uttar Pradesh, India. Using the simple random sampling method, Participants reported the purpose of smartphone usage and the duration spent on each activity were utilized to analyze the behavioral changes brought about by the usage of mobile phones. Survey distribution was used to track academic success. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the collected data. The findings highlight the impact of mobile phone policies on students' activities during breaks and underscore the challenge of completely eliminating mobile phone usage during these times. The study differentiates between primary (7–11 years old) and secondary tier (12–18 years old) students in terms of break time activities. Notably, younger students engage more in traditional activities, such as reading books, compared to secondary tier students. Awareness campaigns and educational programs can be designed to inform students about the potential health risks associated with excessive cell phone use.
