…………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Introduction:-
The present generation of the people all across the globe knows the undeniable fact of the present time i.e. Education and Technology are Complementary. Education paves the way to learn and improve technology. Technology provides access to unlimited content and thus facilitates education. The most handy among all the educational technologies is the smart phone or mobile devices.
Thomas Raymont(1906) says that "Education in the narrow sense does not include self-culture and the general influences of one"s surroundings, but only those special influences which are consciously and designedly brought to ISSN: 2320-5407 Int. J. Adv. Res. 9(08), 627-632 628 bear upon the youngster by the adult persons of the community whether through the family, the church or the state." Broadly speaking He further states-"It is really life that educates us." Lodge has his own definition of Education-"Whatever broadens our horizon, deepens our insight, refines our reactions, and stimulates our thoughts and feelings educates us." Pestalozzi(1801) says that -"Education is natural, harmonious and progressive development of man"s innate powers." This tells that education is not just learning some things from books or some skills, it is more vast and deep, it is getting access to the full potential of a person for the good of the society.Since the dawn of human civilization, as the society has developed, so did the education system. The development of education system means the development of the ways to impart knowledge, the tools of imparting knowledge, the set-up for imparting knowledge, etc. The latest reform in education took place with the introduction of The Internet. With the growing popularity and usage of the internet, people all round the globe grew smarter and more familiar to the contemporary newer technologies and gadgets. One such technology was the Mobile Phone technology.
All the above statements and definitions suggest that personality of a person depends on education. It is crystal clear that Education, Technology and Personality are interrelated. Let us now see what technology means and how it is affecting the lives of the masses at present.
Technology is etymologically taken from Greek "tekhnologia' meaning "systematic treatment" or from "tekhnē" meaning "art, craft" and -logia. The 21 st century is considered as the era of Technology. The use of Technology in today"s scenario is inevitable. The overall growth of a person or even a nation depends on effective use of technology. As far as the growth of a person is concerned, education plays the most important role. Thus, pertaining to the current scenario, education and technology are inseparable. Hence, one"s personality is shaped together by the outcomes of education and impact of technology.
It is quite evident that Mobiles or Cellphones are the most loved and used invention of all the invented technologies. Thus, it is obvious to study how mobile phones affect education and in turn personalities of different persons.

Significance of the Study
The present study is the need of the time as it tends to fill the gap present in the previous studies related to mobile technology and its impacts. The current study simply points out how the technology can make people slaves by engaging them in one or other usage like the mobile phones. Mobile phones have cluster of applications and most of the time people engage themselves in checking notifications from different application. Not only the children, the elders also land in the trap set by mobile devices by developing the habit of checking notifications time-to-time. Hence the investigator, by carrying out the concerned research, not only makes the parents beware of the negative sides of the mobile technology but also attracts the attention of the people towards taking responsibility to control the usage of newer technologies more wisely.

Statement of the Problem

There is no significant difference between boys and girls of secondaryschools in the use of mobile phones.

Null Hypothesis -2
There is no significant difference between private and government secondaryschools students in the use of mobile phones. It is inferred from the above table that the calculated value of 't' is less than the table value of 't' (1.96) at 5% level of significance for 198 df. Therefore, the null hypothesis is not rejected. Hence, there is no significant difference between male and female Secondary School Students in their impact of mobile Usage.

Null Hypothesis -3
There is no significant difference between Hindi medium and Englishmedium secondary school students in the use of mobile phones.

Null Hypothesis -4
There is no significant difference between Secondary School Students in their impact of mobile Usage with respect to mother"s annual income. It is inferred from the above table that the calculated value of 't' is less than the table value of 't' (1.96) at 5% level of significance for 198 df in their cognitive and affective domain whereas the calculated value of "t" is greater than the table value of "t" at 5% level of significance for 198 df in psychomotor domain and mobile impact.
