FOMO- social media engagement- smartphone addiction and distraction
_IEEEPaper.
Abstract
Everything in this contemporary world can be exploited including
a smartphone. Smartphone has both pros and cons. So, our research is
focusing on the dark side of the smartphone and how it creates a
potential risk to our mental health, productivity, time and academic
performance. We are conducting a survey that examines the
relationship between social media use and academic performance. We want
to show that heavy social media usage is positively related to lower GPA
i.e. Academic performance has a negative correlation to social media
addiction and suggesting to them the best ways to get rid of smartphone
addiction. Several mobile phone applications are available to help
smartphone users to self-monitor their smartphone usage. These mobile
applications may provide a means of delivering behavioral interventions
to protect smartphone users from their potential problematic usage.
At last, we want people to let them know the truth of how heavy
smartphone usage is affecting their mental health, productivity, and
safety in performing their daily tasks.
