Digital Divide and Digital Inclusive Policies in India: A Sociological Studyijtsrd
The digital divide or digital split is a social issue referring to the differing amount of information between those who have access to internet and those who do not have access to the internet. The term assumes that such an access variance leads to social discrepancies owing to the alterations in the benefit conferred upon those who use this technology and those who do not use it. Digital divide is not merely a concern for developing countries even its a reality for developed countries of the world as well. This occurrence has been gaining attention worldwide for digitally enabled social policies and planning. The Indian government ambitious project, ˜digital India, would be a reality only if it includes the neglected section of the society. The objectives of the paper are: a) to delineate digital divide in India and its concern & b) to ascertain the digital inclusive policies in India.Key Words: Digital divide, Digital opportunity initiatives, digital empowerment etc. Dr. Mohammad Swalehin"Digital Divide and Digital Inclusive Policies in India: A Sociological Study" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-2 | Issue-1 , December 2017, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd5901.pdf http://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/sociology/5901/digital-divide-and-digital-inclusive-policies-in-india--a-sociological-study/dr-mohammad-swalehin

The study aims to understand how to more widely adopt mobile internet among digitally disadvantaged populations.
The usage of internet by youngsters of gujrat city (pakistan)Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research study on internet usage among youth in Gujrat City, Pakistan. The study used surveys and focus groups to collect data from 250 college students between ages 16-25. The results showed that most students used the internet for entertainment purposes like chatting rather than education. Male students were more likely to use internet cafes while females used email more. The study found signs that excessive internet use was causing addiction for some students, negatively impacting their studies and social lives. In conclusion, the internet was found to influence youth behavior in the city with both benefits and risks requiring awareness.
In the recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) has acquired a remarkable attention. IoT projects a world where billions of smart, interacting things are able to offer various services to near and remote entities. This innovative technology enables users to identify and control services. Customers can benefit from the functional guidance. Therefore, the voice of customers is transmitted to manufacturers. The benefit and welfare that the IoT brings about are undeniable; on the other hand, there are some challenges to apply IoT. The main objective of this study is to reveal the usability challenges of IoT in developing countries through a detailed literature survey.
The document discusses the digital divide between developed and developing countries like the Philippines and India. It finds that while mobile phone usage has increased significantly in both countries, internet usage remains lower than in developed nations. Specifically, it notes that mobile phone subscription has more than doubled in the Philippines since 2004, with over 25% of the population owning phones. However, internet usage in the Philippines and India is still only around 3-28%, which is lower than other Asia-Pacific and global averages. While both countries have seen growth, the document concludes that a large digital divide still exists between high-income and lower-income countries in the region in terms of technology access and use.
The document discusses the evolution of the internet from its origins to modern usage. It traces the early development of internet technology in the 1950s and the creation of ARPANET. By the late 1980s, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web while working at CERN, allowing for easy sharing of information. Global internet usage has since exploded, reaching over 4 billion users by 2019 with increasing speeds and new applications like social media and online shopping. The future of technology may include advances in areas like blockchain, artificial intelligence, and augmented/virtual reality.
- Social media usage in urban India reached 62 million users by December 2012, accounting for 74% of active internet users. Highest usage is among young men (84%) and college students (82%).
- Over a third (35%) of India's 58 million social media users are from small towns with populations under 500,000. Facebook is the dominant social networking platform, used by 97% of social media users.
- Mobile internet users account for half of India's active internet base, and they are more likely to use social media (82%) than the overall internet population (72%). Social media and entertainment apps see the most daily usage on mobile devices.
Smartphones provide advantages of constant internet connectivity and access to applications, but can also be distracting and addictive. While smartphones allow for increased productivity through mobile work access, research also shows they lower productivity as people spend more time on unrelated activities online or on their phones. Studies find smartphone addiction can be treated similarly to drug addiction, and that divided attention between phones and tasks results in missed targets at work and lower pass rates in school. Overall, smartphones were meant to enhance technology but poor self-control in their use makes them problematic in settings where concentration is needed like work or education.
Smartphones provide advantages of constant connectivity and access to information, but can also be distracting and addictive. While smartphones may increase productivity for some workers by enabling mobile access, research also shows they lower productivity for many as people spend significant time on non-work activities. Studies find smartphone addiction can be treated similarly to drug addiction, and that smartphones negatively impact families as people spend more time on their devices than with family. Research on businesses found divided attention between work and social media on smartphones reduces productivity and meeting targets.
Smartphones provide advantages of constant connectivity and access to information, but can also be distracting and addictive. While smartphones may increase productivity for some workers, research shows they lower productivity for many others as people spend more time on unrelated activities online. Studies also find smartphones negatively impact family time, concentration in school, and can be as addictive as drugs. Statistics show rapid growth in smartphone ownership and use over a short period. In conclusion, while smartphones advanced technology, the lack of self-control in their use makes them problematic in work and school environments.

The Digital Divide Revisited Opportunity for all requires som.docxmehek4
The Digital Divide Revisited
"Opportunity for all requires something else today -- having access to a computer and knowing how to use it. That means we must close the digital divide between those who've got the tools and those who don't" (Clinton, 2000)
Even before President Clinton began a series of initiatives targeting the digital divide, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) began surveying internet usage in the U.S., focusing on the "haves" versus the "have nots" as those terms referred to households or groups with access to computers and the internet. Although there is ongoing discussion about the ways and means of measuring the size of the gap, both in the U.S. and worldwide, generally the indicators of availability, access and utilization of Communications Technologies (ICTs) and the ICT Development Index (IDI)1 are used in research to determine the "gap between individuals, households, businesses and geographic areas at different socio-economic levels with regard both to their opportunities to access information and communication technologies and to their use of the Internet for a wide variety of activities” (Understanding the Digital Divide, 2001).
1 The ICT Development Index (IDI) is an index published by the United Nations International Telecommunication Union based on internationally agreed information and communication technologies (ICT) indicators.
The 2014 IDI report lists the United States as ranking 14th among 166 countries surveyed (up from 17th in 2012) (International Telecommunication Union, 2015). What are some of the indicators that are used to assess availability, access, and utilization of the internet? In a research study completed at the School of Business, University of Redlands (Pick, Sarkar, & Johnson, 2015), three areas of concentration are identified. First are the demographic factors. As might be expected, urban locations have the heaviest concentration of broadband access (high speed internet access) and mobile phone availability. Individual internet use in metropolitan areas varies along racial and ethnic lines. Rural residents are significantly less likely to access the Internet than urban and suburban residents. Housing density and people's socializing interactions also impact internet usage. We will discuss the impact of socializing factors later.
Second, economic factors, that is, income has been a significant factor in providing access to computers and in internet usage. Employment in professional jobs and in service industries is strongly associated with technology availability and use.
Third, the level of educational attainment certainly seems to impact both access to and use of the internet. It seems somewhat intuitive to say that the more educated a person, the better understanding that person has of technology and how to use it. In summary,
younger, white, better educated, more affluent, employed, urban and suburban Americans remain more likely to access the I ...
Modern Day Zombies discusses how smartphones are creating modern-day zombies by controlling users in the same way zombies are controlled by disease. People are constantly focused on their phones, unaware of their surroundings. Research shows that smartphone use has become addictive for many, impacting users' concentration, social skills, and mental health. Excessive smartphone use is associated with addiction, which can lead to behavioral changes, sleep deprivation, and physical and psychological issues over time. Studies are exploring the epidemic of smartphone addiction and its damaging effects.
This document provides an overview of technology, covering its history from the invention of the wheel to modern advancements like AI and IoT.

India's private sector banks play a critical role in the country's economic development. So The financial performance of private sector banks must be evaluated carefully.
An Empirical Analysis of Financial Performance of Selected Oil Exploration an...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
After the United States, China, and Japan, India was the world's fourth biggest consumer of oil and petroleum products. The nation is significantly reliant on crude oil imports, the majority of which come from the Middle East. The Indian oil and gas business is one of the country's six main sectors, with important forward links to the rest of the economy. More than two-thirds of the country's overall primary energy demands are met by the oil and gas industry. The industry has played a key role in placing India on the global map. India is now the world's sixth biggest crude oil user and ninth largest crude oil importer. In addition, the country's portion of the worldwide refining market is growing. India's refining industry is now the world's sixth biggest. With plans for Reliance Petroleum Limited to commission another refinery with a capacity of 29 MTPA next 16 to its 33 MTPA refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat, this position is projected to be enhanced. As a consequence, the Reliance refinery would be the biggest single-site refinery in the world. Based on secondary data gathered from CMIE, the current research examines the ratios influencing the profitability of selected oil exploration and production businesses in India during a 10-year period.
Since 1991, thanks to economic policy liberalization, the Indian economy has entered an era in which Indian businesses can no longer disregard global markets. Prior to the 1990s, the prices of a variety of commodities, metals, and other assets were carefully regulated. Others, which were not rolled, were primarily dependant on regulated input costs. As a result, there was no uncertainty and, as a result, no price fluctuations. However, in 1991, when the process of deregulation began, the prices of most items were deregulated. It has also resulted in the exchange being partially deregulated, easing trade restrictions, lowering interest rates, and making significant advancements in foreign institutional investors' access to the capital markets, as well as establishing market-based government securities pricing, among other things. Furthermore, portfolio and securities price volatility and instability were influenced by market-determined exchange rates and interest rates. As a result, hedging strategies employing a variety of derivatives were exposed to a variety of risks. The Indian capital market will be examined in this study, with a focus on derivatives.

Techno-Economic Aspects of Solid Food Wastes into Bio-ManureDr. Amarjeet Singh
Solid waste is health hazard and cause damage to the environment due to improper handling. Solid waste comprises of Industrial Waste (IW), Hazardous Waste (HW), Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Electronic waste (E-waste), Bio-Medical Waste (BMW) which depend on their supply & characteristics. Food waste or Bio-waste composting and its role in sustainable development is explained in food waste is a growing area of concern with many costs to our community in terms of waste collection, disposal and greenhouse gases. When rotting food ends up in landfill it turns into methane, a greenhouse gas that is particularly damaging to the environment. Composting is biochemical process in which organic materials are biologically degraded, resulting in the production of organic by products and energy in the form of heat. Heat is trapped within the composting mass, leading to the phenomenon of self-heating. This overall process provide us Bio-Manure.
Crypto-Currencies: Can Investors Rely on them as Investment Avenue?Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The purpose of this study is to examine investors’ perceptions about investing in crypto-currencies. We think that investors trust in crypto-currencies is largely driven by crypto-currency comprehension, trust in government, and transaction speed. This is the first study to examine crypto-currencies from the investor’s perspective. Following that, we discover important antecedents of crypto-currency confidence. Second, we look at the government's role in crypto-currencies. The importance of this study is: first, crypto-currencies have the potential to disrupt the current economic system as the debate is all about impact of decentralization of transactions; thus, further research into how it affects investors trust is essential; and second, access to crypto-currencies. Finally, if Fin-Tech companies or banks want to enter the bitcoin industry may not attract huge advertising costs as well as marketing to soothe clients' concerns about investing in various digital currencies The research sheds light on indecisiveness in the context of marketing aspects adopted by demonstrating investors are aware about the crypto.
Awareness of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) among Student of the Catanduanes S...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The Island Province of Catanduanes is prone to all types of natural hazards that includes torrential and heavy rains, strong winds and surge, flooding and landslide or slope failures as a result of its geographical location and topography. RA 10121 mandates local DRRM bodies to “encourage community, specifically the youth, participation in disaster risk reduction and management activities, such as organizing quick response groups, particularly in identified disaster-prone areas, as well as the inclusion of disaster risk reduction and management programs as part of youth programs and projects. The study aims to determine the awareness to disaster of the student of the Catanduanes State University. The disaster-based questionnaire was prepared and distributed among 636 students selected randomly from different Colleges and Laboratory Schools in the University
The Catanduanes State University students understood some disaster-related concepts and ideas, but uncertain on issues on preparedness, adaptation, and awareness on the risks inflicted by these natural hazards. Low perception on disaster risks are evidently observed among students. The responses of the students could be based on the efficiency and impact of the integration of DRR education in the senior high school curriculum. Specifically, integration of the concepts about the hazards, hazard maps, disaster preparedness, awareness, mitigation, prevention, adaptation, and resiliency in the science curriculum possibly affect the knowledge and understanding of students on DRR. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM.
The study further recommends that teachers and instructor must also be capacitated in handling disaster as they are the prime movers in the implementation of the DRRM in education. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM. Core subjects in Earth Sciences must be reinforced with geologic hazards. Learning competencies must also be focused on hazard identification and mapping, and coping with different geologic disaster.
The 1857 war was a watershed moment in the history of the Indian subcontinent. The battle has sparked academic debate among historians and sociologists all around the world. Despite the fact that it has been more than 150 years, this battle continues to pique the interest of historians. The war's causes and events that occurred throughout the conflict, persons who backed the British and anti-British fighters, and the results and ramifications, are all aspects of this conflict. In terms of outcomes, many academics believe that the war was a failure for those who started it. It is often assumed that the Indians who battled the British in this conflict were unable to achieve their goals. Many gains accrued to Indians as a result of the conflict, but these achievements are overshadowed by the dispute over the war's failure. This research effort focuses on the war's achievements for India, and the significance of those achievements.
Haryana's Honour Killings: A Social and Legal Point of ViewDr. Amarjeet Singh
Life is unpredictably unpredictable. Nobody knows what will happen in the next minute of their lives. In this circumstance, every human being has the right and desire to conduct their lives according to their own desires. No one should be forced to live a life solely for the benefit and reputation of others. Honour killing is defined as the assassination of a person, whether male or female, who refuses to accept the family's arranged marriage or decides to move her or his marital life according to her or his wishes solely because it jeopardizes the family's honour. The family's supreme authority looks after the family's name but neglects to consider the love and affection shared among family members. I have discussed honour killing in India in my research work. This sort of murder occurs as a result of particular triggers, which are also examined in relation to the role of the law in honour killing. No one can be released free if they break the law, and in this case, it is a felony that violates various regulations designed to safeguard citizens. This crime is similar to many others, but it is distinct enough to be differentiated in the report. When the husband is of low social standing, it lowers the position and caste of the female family, prompting the male family members to murder the girl. But they forget that the girl is their kid and that while rank may be attained, a girl's life can never be replaced, and that caste is less valuable than the girl's life and love spent with them.

The article concludes digitalization is both a challenge and opportunity for MSMEs to adapt their traditional business models and survive or grow
Modal Space Controller for Hydraulically Driven Six Degree of Freedom Paralle...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This paper presents the Modal space decoupled control for a hydraulically driven parallel mechanism has been presented. The approach is based on singular values decomposition to the properties of joint-space inverse mass matrix, and mapping of the control and feedback variables from the joint space to the decoupling modal space. The method transformed highly coupled six-input six-output dynamics into six independent single-input single-output (SISO) 1 DOF hydraulically driven mechanical systems. The novelty in this method is that the signals including control errors, control outputs and pressure feedbacks are transformed into decoupled modal space and also the proportional gains and dynamic pressure feedback are tuned in modal space. The results indicate that the conventional controller can only attenuate the resonance peaks of the lower eigenfrequencies of six rigid modes properly, and the peaking points of other relative higher eigenfrequencies are over damped, The further results show that it is very effective to design and tune the system in modal space and that the bandwidth increased substantially except surge (x) and sway (y) motions, each degree of freedom can be almost tuned independently and their bandwidths can be increased near to the undamped eigenfrequencies.
It is a known fact that a large number of Steel Industry Expansion projects in India have been delayed due to regulatory clearances, environmental issues and problems pertaining to land acquisition. Also, there are challenges in the tendering phase that affect viability of projects thus delaying implementation, construction phase is beset with over-runs and disputes and last but not the least; provider skills are weak all across the value chain. Given the critical role of Steel Sector in ensuring a sustained growth trajectory for India, it is imperative that we identify the core issues affecting completion of infrastructure projects in India and chalk out initiatives that need to be acted upon in short term as well as long term.

ABSTRACT
In today’s era usage of communication technology is
increasing day by day whether it may be in the field of
education or any other field. The dependency on these
technological devices has been increased; it may be fruitful on
one hand and problematic from some aspects on other side.
People are not realizing the negative aspects of the usage but
when they were asked they seemed to neglect the negative
aspects as they are not concerned but some other day it will
certainly affect them. The present study was done to identify
the communication technology induced stressor, exploratory
factor analysis has been done on the data collected from 427
respondent and nine factor are extracted containing
variables which simply explains the smartphone uses stressor
that and those factors may be used for further analysis in
various studies related to smartphone usage.
Keywords-- Smartphone, Techno-Invasion, Techno-
Overload, Compulsive Usage, Withdrawal/Escape, Feeling
Lost/Anxious
I. INTRODUCTION
Information and communication technologies
(ICTs) are generally defined as technologies used to
convey, manipulate and store data by electronic means.
This can include e-mail, SMS text messaging, video chat
(e.g., Skype), and online social media (e.g., Facebook). It
also includes all the different computing devices (e.g.,
laptop computers and smart phones) that carry out a wide
range of communication and information functions.
(Perron et al., 2010)
Today we are living in the world where
communication technology is involved in all human
activity at a fast rate. Communication technology is used
for growth and productivity as well as for human welfare
but as we are deeply involved in its usage we are unable to
see the pitfalls it had and whether is it used or creating
options for all to improve the standard of living, or just
available only to a group of people.
Communication technology is basically meant to
the Internet and mobile phones and other services are
through them. According to the data of Census 2011 only
3.1 percent of total houses have internet access in India.
The Internet includes both broadband and low-speed
connections. Only one state and two union territories in
India have Internet density of over 10%. Chandigarh (U/T)
has the highest 18.8% of total households Internet users,
followed by NCT of Delhi (U/T) 17.6% and Goa
12.7%.Bihar has below 1% of total households Internet
users whichis the lowest in India.
Concept of Communication Technology
Communication Technology is a relational field
(simply, a medium that connects people) and its
implications for connections. Only one state and two union
territories in India have Internet density of over 10%.
Chandigarh (U/T) has the highest 18.8% of total
households Internet users, followed by NCT of Delhi
(U/T) 17.6% and Goa 12.7%.Bihar has below 1% of total
households Internet users whichis the lowest in India.
Concept of Communication technology
Communication Technology is a relational field
(simply, a medium that connects people) and its
implications for human communication and listening.

Its rural area or urban area the internet use on
mobile has dropped the use of desktop and tablet. As seen
in the figure1, 77% of urban users and 92% of rural users
consider mobile as the primary device for the use of
Internet because of the comfort and portability factor in
mobile. In 2015, Google confirmed that more Google
searches are done more from mobile devices than
computers. On screen keyboards make tablets as a least
preferred option that is only 1% in rural areas. Mobile has
the feature of both desktop and a tablet. It is projected the
usage of desktop will go down further. Many Smartphone
available are low priced, in the markets. More and more
companies are into its manufacturing, internet data
packages prices available are also falling down therefore
Smartphone‘s phones have been preferred choice for
internet access.
When we look into the information provided by
Statista a data platform provider, we come to see the
ratio of Smartphone users in India

As the look into the above figure 2 it could be
clearly identified that the usage of Smartphone is
increasing day by day.
Different researchers had pointed out different
issues which are literally problematic and we should take
them gravely, but people are moving so fast that they are
taking all for granted.
Google ―degrading our intelligence‖ (Carr, 2008).
Facebook is ―infantilizing‖ us (Wintour, 2009).
Technology is the ―21st-century addiction‖ (Roberts,
2010)
―Facebook and Twitter are creating a vain
generation of self-obsessed people with child-like need for
feedback, warns top scientist‖ (Sarah, 2011)
―Texting at night 'disrupts children's sleep and
memory'‖ (BBC Online News, 2012)
It is also seen that technology is bringing many
opportunities and benefit for communication but often
brings problems when technologies are hyped and human
values are undervalued (McFarlane, 2010). The study will
answer the research questions
1. What is communication technology?
2. What are communication technology usage stressor
factors?
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
The various stressor that an individual faces with
these technology usage, came to look out were memory
loss, impatience with other, lessened ability to relax,
difficulty sleeping, stomach discomfort and back pain... It
is suggested that yes these technostress habits exist and it
is affecting personnel as well as professional life very well
(Walz, 2012). If at night there was excessive usage then
sleep disturbance was seen both in men and women
(Thomée et al., 2012). ‗‗Technology is changing our world
more than ever before. The catalyst now is the
Smartphone.‘‘ (Larry Rosen, 2012) It was found that
respondent check their phones 34 times a day not
necessarily because they really need to check that many
times, but because it has simply become a habit.
(Oulasvirta et al., 2011) Excessive usage and habitual
checking on missed calls or messages may result in
compulsive usage and even lead tomobile phone addiction
for Smartphone users (Bianchi & Phillips, 2005;
Oulasvirta et al., 2011; Takao et al.,2009).The first
Smartphone, was created by IBM, which was invented in
1992 and was released forpurchase in 1994. It wasn‘t until
the year 2000 that the Smartphone was connected with
3G networking. In other words, a mobile communications
standard was grownup to allow portable electronic devices
to connect to the Internet wirelessly. One of the most
prominent years for Smartphone progress was 2007. It was
year Steve Jobs and the team at Macworld revealed the
very first iPhone. Not only it was the sleekest touch screen
device to hit the market, but it was also the first device that
offered a full, un-watered down version of the internet.
The very first iPhone gave the consumers the facility to
browse the web just like they did on desktop computer.
The World on our Fingertips Now days everything is
taking place through wireless connection. It‘s harmless to
say that Smartphone have totally changed the way we live
our lives. The information provided by the internet is of
great benefit in creating knowledge but these technologies
could never be used by their own for that purpose human
beings are to be made available to operate them (Lee,
2001).
Constructs Identified
1. Compulsive Usage
Compulsive behavior is defined as ‗‗a response to
an uncontrollable drive or desire to obtain, use, or
experience a feeling, substance, or activity that leads the
individual to repetitively engage in behavior that will
ultimately cause harm to the individual and/or
others‘‘(O’guinn and Faber, 1989). Now days it could be
seen that Smartphone had been involved in individual life
right from the morning to the time one goes to bed. The
major feature of smart phone usage involves different
activity such as entertainment (e.g., compulsive eating,
shopping, gambling, and substance misuse) which is a
pattern of repetitive, senseless behavior (Parylak et al.,
2011). It is found that repetitive checking of mobile
phones is considered a compulsive behavior (Oulasvirta
et al., 2012).
2. Techno-Invasion
There are five ―technostress‖ creating conditions
out of which one explains Techno-invasion‖ which
describes situations where professionals can potentially be
reached anywhere and anytime and feel the need to be
constantly connected. The regular workday extends into
family hours including vacations. Due to this kind of
continual connectivity, individuals feel attached to these
technologies and experience intrusion on their time and
space (Tarafdar et al., 2011). The invasion of Smartphone
into one‘s life results in thinking ―Our future is becoming
increasing dependent on a multiplicity of pervasive and
invasive technological artifacts‖ (Orlikowski and Iacono,
2001). The way people approach performing their job
duties had change, there are bound to be new factors that
need to be considered in exploring job-related stress, this
factor evolved as a stressor as a result of the telework

phenomenon, which produced a fundamental shift in how
individuals worked (Cooper et al., 2001).
3. Techno-Overload
―Techno-overload‖ which describes situations
where use of IS forces professionals to work more and
work faster; trying to do more in less time, and
experiencing tension and anxiety. Work overload is the
most widely proposed stressor in the IS literature
(Ayyagari et al., 2011; Moore, 2000; Salanova et al.,
2002). It has been discovered that work overload is the
strongest contributor to exhaustion (Moore, 2000). In the
present situation, using communication technology after
work hours, increase workload even on weekend
(Salanova et al., 2002).
4. Physical Symptoms
Usage of communication technologies
(Smartphone) leads to many issues some of which are
identified physical maladies such as ―. . . headaches,
irritability, stomach or intestinal problems and heart
related issues such as heart attack or high blood pressure‖
(Brillhart, 2004). It was also found that exposure to
electromagnetic fields emitted by digital mobile phones
handsets prior to sleep decreased the rapid eye movement
(REM), sleep latency and increased the
electroencephalogram spectral power in the 11.5 to 12.25
Hz frequency range during the initial part of sleep
following exposure (Loughran et al.,2005)
5. Psychological Symptoms
Problems such as tension, low morale, poor
attitude, isolation, fear and worry are symptoms of
psychological stress. Fear of job loss, physical harm and
isolation from co-workers may cause operators of
automated equipment to develop any of the above
mentioned stress symptoms. Some common causes of
work stress resulting from working in an IT environment
are lack of autonomy, heavy workloads, pressures for
performance, monitored performance, disrupted social
relationships, concern for career and job future, feeling of
lack of competence, long hours spent in front of computers
and fear of not being able to catch up with IT (Cohen’s
,1981)
6. Feeling Anxious/Lost
It was found that dependents of mobile phones
preoccupy themselves with the mobile phone (Bianchi &
Phillips, 2005) (e.g., when out of range for some time,
users become worried with the thought of missing a call);
use the mobile phone for an increasing amount of time in
order to achieve satisfaction; repeat unsuccessful efforts to
control, cut back or stop mobile phone use special
vulnerability of college students to Internet addiction has
been characterized by: (1) an increasing investment of
resources on Internet-related activities; (2) unpleasant
feelings when off-line, including anxiety, depression, and
emptiness; (3) an increasing tolerance to the effects of
being on-line; and (4) denial of the problematic behaviors
(Kandell, 1998)
7. Withdrawal/Escape
It was found that dependents of mobile phones
feel lost, restless, moody, depressed or irritable when
attempting to cut down use of the mobile phone and use
the mobile phone as a way of escape from problems or to
relieve a dysphonic mood (e.g., feeling of isolation,
anxiety, loneliness, and depression) (Bianchi & Phillips,
2005).Further studies find that feelings of loneliness and
lack of social support may lead students to become
addicted to the Internet (Pawlak, 2002). Excessive
amounts of time spent online, compulsive use of the
internet, difficulty in managing the time spent on the
internet, feeling that the world outside of the internet is
boring, becoming irritated if disturbed while online, and
decreased social interaction with ‗real‖ people Studies
shows that internet addiction leads to loneliness (Kraut et
al., 1998; Nalwa & Anand, 2003; Whang, Lee, &
Chang, 2003), . As a social comfort tool, the Internet tends
to provide distraction that allows addicts to procrastinate
or avoid stressful events, tasks, or thoughts.
8. Neglect Work
One prominent type of technology addiction,
Internet addiction, which refers to an excessive and
uncontrolled need to use the Internet, is found to be
prevalent among young people globally (Kubey et al.
2001; Niemz et al. 2005).It also found that to have the
potential to negatively affect one‘s effectiveness, health,
happiness, and relationships (Nath et al., 2013). Use of the
Internet can lead to social isolation, neglect of school and
household responsibilities, relationship problems, and
overwhelming pre-occupation with the Internet (Griffiths,
2000; Morahan-Martin, 2008; Widytanto &
McMurran, 2004; Young, 1996).
After doing the extensive literature review it is
found that very few research have identified the factors
that relates to Smartphone usage and the identified factors
are not covering all the aspects as covered in this paper.
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Smartphone had been introduced vigorously in
life of individual so the objective of the study is to identify
the Smartphone usage induced factors. This designed
questionnaire consists of nine attributes, where in enough
information about significant usage of smart phone has
been asked.

To identify the factors the target population is the
individuals having qualification high school/intermediate
and using Smartphone in the cities that are Delhi, Mumbai,
Kolkata, Chennai and Lucknow. Target population was
selected from these places as it is found that young people
who have higher level of education and income are
digitally connected (Paw Research Centre, 2018) and
International Data Corporation Smartphone tracker found
100 cities which uses more Smartphone. As the census
survey states 79 million people are high
school/intermediate in India, so the population frame
selected is infinite that is why convenience sampling
technique is used to collect data and the sample frame
selected was 500 out of which 427 questionnaires were
properly filled, hence the analysis was done on 427
responses. A structured questionnaire was made on a 5
point Likert scale. To extract the factors exploratory factor
analysis has been done on the data collected.
IV. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
Exploring Factor Affecting Human Development
because of Smart Phone Usage
To do factor analysis it is significantly important
to check the underlying assumptions such as data
sufficiency or sampling adequacy which means whether
the collected data is significant to do factor analysis or not
and KMO value should be greater than 0.60. Table below
gives KMO value 0.709 which is significantly higher than
the recommended value of 0.6, therefore, collected data is
sufficient to do factor analysis.

proves Discriminant validity.
V. CONCLUSION
It is concluded by the study that Smartphone was
introduced in the year 1992 in India and the factors that
relates to Smartphone usage induced stressor are Techno-
invasion, Techno-overload, Compulsive usage, Physical
Symptoms, psychological symptoms, feeling anxious/lost,
withdrawal/escape and neglect work.
It the extracted factors are ready for further
analysis and may exactly relate to the issues originated by
the usage of Smartphone usage.
The study limited itself on finding the factors
only, it may be used to analyze what impact these factor
are creating by Smartphone usage.
