Mobile Usage Among College Students: An Investigation

Abstract
Mobile technology demonstrates significant potential for boosting
information exchange activities, on and off campus, between
students and faculty in higher education institutions. Students’
access to, usage of, and attitudes toward mobile devices, their
functions, capabilities, and social media apps were investigated in
this study. Smartphone usage among college students is prevalent
in daily life, according to a poll of 308 students at Kuwait’s
College of Business Studies (CBS) who were asked about their
mobile technology usage. The findings revealed that students had
a positive opinion of mobile capabilities and functionalities, and
that social media apps, like Instagram, Snap Chat, and Twitter,
we’re in widespread use. Significant disparities were observed
between genders in terms of mobile usage. In terms of using
mobile native features and applications, male students were found
to be substantially more active than female students.
