Changing technological environments: Impact and influences on youth in Thane city

Abstract

The ubiquitous presence of social media in the day to day life and activities of the youth today due to the advancement of technology and its easy accessibility is obvious. One needs to understand the effects it has on the psychology and perceptions of such students in the age group of 18-24 and the effects it has on their overall mental wellbeing and health. What needs to be examined is the extent and effect of the influence, its pros and cons, its impact on the youth and identification of specific issues so as to aid in the process of finding ways and means to tackle a phenomenon that is here to stay.
