Abstract

Adolescence is a period of rapid, physical and psychological development. It is a time when critical behaviours are shaped that will have impact on the rest of the life. The invention of the cell phone, appearance of computers, laptops, and internet communication has become a vital link in communicating with others. Though technology has innumerable benefits, it can affect teen’s future, if not used cautiously. Overuse of technology results in poor health, lack of interest in studying and poor study habits. They may become screen slaved, socially challenged persons also as narcissist or violent persons. They may become victims of cyber criminals. Parents, elders, teachers and people interested in social welfare should take active measures.

Keywords: Adolescence; Teens.
