1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Smartphone has become one the important devices used to simplify human lives and their activities. The usage of smartphone has been increased in recent years in Bangladesh. The number of Smartphone users in Bangladesh has increased by 8.20 million in 2015 and the figure will be more than doubled by 2021 (BTRC, 2016). In each year, more than 6.00 million new users are added to existing smartphone users (ERICSSON MOBILITY REPORT, 2015). Students seem to be vulnerable to technology overuse because of their developmental dynamics, freedom, and lack of responsibility on society and family.
A mobile phone is a device that can basically make and receive calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. (Pew Research center, 2010). It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. The ancient types of Mobile phones support limited services Such as, calling, sending messages and very few for taking pictures. However, the modern phones support very wide range variety of other services apart from making and receive calls These include; text messaging, MMS, e-mail, internet access, short range wireless communications [(Infrared, Bluetooth, File Transfer Protocol, (FTP)], business applications, gaming and photography.
The earliest smartphone released is during the 1990’s.But, of course, with such technologies, people can do things easily and with that, more and more people own smartphone. With this, data traffic from users increased drastically which will also cause the increased mobile charge or mobile bills. It is predicted that by 2020, mobile data will have covered 80 percent of mobile data traffic (Lunden, 2015). This clearly shows how the population of human is dependent on mobile phone. This will then lead to addiction to mobile phone. There are many criteria to show mobile phone overuse in a person.
