Abstract

Children and youth in India have in the last decade become increasingly technology-driven,revealing considerable potential and readiness to imbibe and learn using digital media. This study was conducted to find out the time Indian Young Aspiring Minds (YAM) spent on their smartphones for academic activities. Digital India has been envisioned as an ambitious umbrella programmed to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. This paper is going to assess the time -use of smartphones for academic activities by 'Young Aspiring Minds'(YAM). The sample is Teacher trainees of B.Ed. The data is going to be collected by using global estimates of time to measure various amounts of time spent on smartphones in a typical exam day. Respondents were asked to simply to state the number of hours or to respond to a Likert-type scale based on hours. The average time spent for doing web research, watching U-Tube videos, Sharing and discussing work (WhatsApp etc.) was more by YAM males whereas for reading e- books YAM females were spending more hours through their smartphones. The findings of the study indicated that today's YAM are spending majority of their time on smartphones for various academic activities.
