School Performance and Smartphones

I feel that today's young people can not survive without smartphones and the Internet. They were created to help simplify communication, but they also affect the performance and productivity of teenagers in schools, workplaces and homes as well as their interactions with adults. Other teenagers publicly express their feelings online and use social media to release their anger and pressure. In most cases, young people are over exposed to the Internet, violence and rumors occur, it will lead to controversy and misunderstanding.

According to the results of the Economic Performance Center of London School of Economics, students got better grades without smart phones. According to the survey, if a mobile phone is a physically handicapped at school, it is the same as adding a weekly school week each year to improve performance. The health implications of using mobile phones are becoming increasingly evident. Various studies have shown that there is a correlation between radiation emitted from the device and chronic health problems such as cancer and brain tumor. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the data does not indicate a direct link between cell phones and cancer, but encourages cell phone manufacturers to limit the emission of radiation to an acceptable level .

In its most basic definition, a smartphone is a cell phone device that can perform multiple functions of a computer. The main function of the smartphone is the touch screen interface, not the keyboard. It also has an operating system that can be accessed via the Internet and can be used to run applications downloaded from the online Google Marketplace. The first mention of the term smartphone can be traced back to the 1980's when computer rich phones were invented. These devices originally sold as PDAs and mobile information terminals brought about major changes in the lives of the people of the world. As mentioned earlier, they continue to offer excellent communication platforms as well as introducing various applications in front of users.
