Introduction

Electronic devices such as televisions, mobile phones and computers are materials

used in many positive purposes. For example, gaining a knowledge of what is

happening in the other parts of the world. Furthermore, learning a new or developing

an already existing hobby or a language. Moreover, communication between people

in this high-speed life using these electronics becomes easier and faster. The question

of my research is ''Do these machines (electronic devices) owned by people from

different age categories influence them in a negative way''?

Literature Review

-According to reference 1-a (mentioned at the end): too much use of electronic

.makes the communication with their parents much lesserdevices from teens

-Referring to reference 1-b (mentioned at the end): using electronic devices by

teenagers in bed before sleeping leads to sleep difficulties and therefore causing

.depression

-According to reference 2 (mentioned at the end): using electronic devices (especially

the ones which are handle by hands) for long hours a day by university students leads

.causing pain in it andhand irto hurting the

-Referring to reference 3 (mentioned at the end): children setting on electronic devices

for long hours may face reading difficulties (dyslexia).

Methodology

-This research depends on a free online survey design.

-The topic of the questionnaire structure is ''Influence of overusing electronic devices

on people from different age categories''.

-The questionnaire is designed to gather data from university students and parents of

school-age students who like to participate.

-The number of participants (sample) allowed is 90 (30 university students, 60 parents

of school aged students of children and adolescences.

-They will be asked to answer 6 short questions about time spent on electronic devices

a day, the general performance on exams, the average studying hours per day, the

activities during spare time, how much time spent setting with the family members or

friends, and the number of sleep hours at night a day.

-The online survey will be sent to the selected university students, children's and

adolescences' parents via e-mail. The one who like to participate can accesses easily

to a link to enter the survey.

- A psychologist, a paediatrician, a neurologist, and some university professors will be

met to get real and scientific data.

Preliminary Data

I expect getting the following results:

1-Those pupils who spend the majority of their time using electronic devices and

minor number of hours spent on studying:

Have generally a poor performance in their courses, spent their free time on moving

from a social media application to another, they do not spent enough time with their

family members or friends and they do not sleep enough hours at night due to using

electronic devices to late time.

2-On the other hand, the learners who spend less hours on their electronic devices and

more hours spent on studying:

Have a good overall performance in their university/school subjects and spent their

free time on hobbies, setting with their family or meeting friends, and they sleep

enough time at night.

Statement of limitations

My research will put the light on how dangerous is using electronic devices for long

hours on: academic studying, sleeping enough at night, hobbies, family relation, and

friendships for students based on the survey results and the information got from the

exports mentioned in the last point of the methodology part (above).

The weakness of my research can be: an online survey may not be enough to get

trusted information from the participants.

The alternative can be: interviewing the students' teachers and parents to get more

trusted and truth data.

Conclusion

To sum up, extensive use of electronic devices by children, adolescences and

university students has a negative impact on their social life, family relationship and

the level of performance in their study. Therefore, the usage of these machines should

be lowered to avoid the mentioned issues.
