INTRODUCTION
“It is health that is real wealth and not piece of gold and silver.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
The one thing that has had the greatest impact on the lives of the people in modern times is computer. Over the past twenty years, computers have gone from being monstrous curiosities taking up the entire space in large rooms, to relatively small boxes on almost every desk.1
Youth is the part of life that succeeds from childhood, the period of existence preceding maturity or age; the whole early part of life, from childhood to manhood. The youth is a condition or quality of being young. An early period of development or existence. It is the time of life between childhood and maturity.2
Today’s children and young people have grown up in a world that is very different from that of most adults. Nearly half the world's populationmore than 3 billion people-are under the age of 25. Eighty-five per cent of youth live in developing countries and India has the largest population of adolescents in the world being home to 243 million individuals aged 10-19 years. Within the world of the young, adolescents are at a particularly formative stage. These 1.2 billion adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 are brimming with energy and possibilities. Their minds are open to acquiring knowledge, learning skills and absorbing values.2
Advanced technology has made the world more connected than ever through social media that can be accessed from seemingly everywhere. Some of the most knowledgeable users of this technology are our youth. Adolescents throughout the country regularly use the internet, cell phones, and video games to gather information and communicate with each other. This ability to interact with others is the unique feature of social media which provides powerful new ways for adolescents to create and navigate their social environments.3
Over years, the prices of computers have drastically slashed down: not only for computers but also in the field of smartphones segment. Every month new models of smart phones with advanced feature are released in to the market companies are on competetion in cutting down the prices of these phones. Therefore almost every adolescents are having smartphones: therefore there is easy access of internet and social networking.
The mass appeal of social networks on the Internet could potentially be a cause for concern, particularly when attending to the gradually increasing amounts of time people spend online.3
On the Internet, people engage in a variety of activities some of which may be potentially to be addictive. Rather than becoming addicted to the medium per sec, some users may develop an addiction to specific activities they carry out online.4
There is a great variety of content that can be accessed on the Internet.the content can be about something useful or something harmful.5
The content that learners search from downloadable cell phone ring tones to social networking web sites. Some content may not be safe for learners to view forinstance having access to information. Interent is important because it has the power to influence the learners knowledge and decision.6
In real sense Smartphone is a mobile phone with advanced features and functionality beyond traditional functionalities like making phone calls and sending text messages. The Smartphone are equipped with the capabilities to display photos, play games, play videos, navigation, built-in camera, audio/video playback and recording, send/receive e-mail, built in apps for social web sites and surf the Web,wireless Internet and much more. Due to same reasons the Smartphone‘s now become a common choice for consumers along with the use in business as it was initially intended for business users only.8
Today in modern trend there is widely using variety of internet and social network applications like Googleplus and facebook etc by the young generation.
A study reveled that Prolonged use of social networking sites (SNS), such as Facebook, may be related to signs and symptoms of depression. In addition, SNS activities might be associated with low self-esteem, especially in children and adolescents.10
NEED FOR THE STUDY:
“Social media is not a media. The key is to listen, engage, and build relationships.”
David Alston
Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols. A social network is a way of staying in touch and making new connections. In the real world individual can’t see the connections between people. In the online world individual can immediately see who knows who, and who is friend with whom. Once individual add friends and family to thier social network it’s very easy to share photos and videos, send messages, post comments, arrange events
The focus on risk and protecting children and young people from harm is often based on concerns that young people lack awareness of the public nature of the internet. In addition to the threat of abuse, some fear that young people’s use of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) can compromise the development and maintenance of supportive friendships and involvement in institutions traditionally understood as the embodiment of “communities, namely school, sports clubs, families etc. These concerns have dominated both public debate and policy-making in recent years. Researchers have suggested that the excessive use of new technologies (and especially online social networking) may be particularly addictive to young people.15
A case of a 24-year old female in a study revealed that she used social networking sites, (SNS) to such an extent that her behavior significantly interfered with her professional and private life. As a consequence, she was referred to a psychiatric clinic. She used Facebook excessively for at least five hours a day and was dismissed from her job because she continuously checked her SNS instead of working. Even during the clinical interview, she used her mobile phone to access Facebook.19
Another study conducted on Internet addiction prevalence and quality of (real) life a meta-analysis of 31 nations across seven world. This study revealed that, in global prevalence estimate of 6.0%, with moderate heterogeneity.The highest prevalence was in the Middle East with, and the lowest was in Northern and Western Europe with 20.6 %.21
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fourth Edition, Individuals who use internet excessively may exhibit many similar symptoms that reflect cognitive preoccupation, tolerance, withdrawal, a sense of euphoria or change in mood, behavioral changes, conflict in various areas on life, and relapse. It does appear that the DSM IV-TR criteria for pathological gambling provide an excellent base to describe the symptoms of pathological internet addiction. Research further suggests that there are similarities between the characteristics of video games and some forms of gambling.22
The study as conducted on Psychosocial risk factors associated with internet addiction in Korea, to examine the prevalence of Internet addiction in middle school students and to identify associated psychosocial risk factors and depression.This study found that students who are having low selfesteem and feeling lonely in home they are more prone to use interenet and social networking,which may leads to interent addiction.2
