With the price of smartphones falling and their
quality/capabilities increasing, the consumption of smartphones is
on the rise. Smartphones have become a pocket computer and a must
have necessity for many people. People want to have access to the
internet at all times and smartphones provide this. Moreover,
smartphones offer students with a new way of learning referred to
as mobile learning. This thesis looks at how students are using
their smartphones socially and for their education which is an
unexplored topic. This thesis also looks at the potentials of
mobile learning and the question of whether smartphones are
replacing laptops. In this thesis I surveyed 100 students to find
out how smartphones affect their social life and education. From my
results I found some very interesting findings which provide a new
insight into how students are benefiting from using their
smartphones for educational purposes. My results also show that 68%
of my respondents are addicted to using their smartphone and that
many students are now beginning to replace laptops with their
smartphones for many functions.
