his is the common trend seen in every home now a days, where teens live.
TTechnology has changed the world in recent 5 years to a great extent. It ' s like a revolution in today ' s teenage life. It is using us, instead of using it. The youth today are becoming more and more attached to their technology. Relationships are being built online or through phones. KEYPADS AND KEYBOARDS are becoming the keys of success.
Youth are in the JAWS of NEW TECH DISEASE- FOMO. It means fear of missing out anything on internet or on mobile phones. They do not want to miss a single update or reply or something else of their interest. If they miss something, it will be considered as a big disappointment for them. Technology provides a way of communication, but is becoming the only way to communicate with today ' s youth because it has made face to face interactions less frequent and has made a negative effect on the social abilities of the youth.
Non internet users spend 12.6 more minutes on average doing social activities such as parties, sporting events. Internet user spends 34.3 minutes less than non internet users with family and friends. Those who do not switch off the computer, switches of all personal relationships with family and friends. Teens do not want to miss a single click on the internet, they can be seen texting anywhere, like at the dinner table, at the movies, on the roads etc. we know that
CONSUMING ANYTHING TO A GREAT EXTENT LEADS TO A BIG DESTRUCTION
So use technology for your benefits. Don’ t become that more virtual that you became totally detached with the real world.
