Mobile Phones

Introductin Mobile phones are one of the most common information access devices with almost 31% of the global population having access. This exploratory study investigated usage patterns of, and attitude about, cell phones among university students in a mature market (United States) and a rapidly growing new market (India) by surveying students in each country. Key findings from the study include similarities in the usage of phones to communicate with others and in the perception of mobile phone usage in public settings, and differences in the use of text messaging and opinions regarding driving and mobile phone usage. Overall these results suggest students in India use mobile phones differently from their American counterparts. In a developing market like India, mobile phones may be the primary and only phone to which students have access. phones became more common, inexpensive, and popular. By the late 1990s several states had already repealed their ban on student cell phones in schools.The tragedy at Columbine and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 brought further attention to the student cell phone debate. Many more states lifted bans on student cell phones after 9-11.However, once state legislation قانون سازیwas no longer the guideline, individual school boards had to make the difficult decision of whether or not to allow cell phones in the classroom. Teachers have been overwhelminglyاکثریتا in favor of cell phone bans, but parents are often equally adamant that their children be allowed to carry cell phones at school. And many teachers themselves acknowledge that they rely on their cell phones, particularly for making calls during planning periods, lunchtime, and before and after school; it seems only fair, they say, that students be allowed similar (if more limited) privileges. مراعات Mobile phones today go beyond just voice communication and provide a multitude of other features and services including text messaging (SMS), multimedia messaging (MMS), photo display and recording, video playback and recording, calendaring, etc. The paper will also seek out the usage patterns of mobile phones as an information access device with respect to these features

The use mobile phones by students
Schools and colleges can make reasonable rules about what students can and cannot bring to school. They can ban anything which is illegal, dangerous or is likely to cause disruption or harm to the smooth running of the school and the education of other students.
The use of mobile phones and similar electronic devices in class can be disruptive to the learning environment of students and should be discouraged. It is acknowledged however that in some circumstances such devices can be appropriately incorporated into the learning program. Mobile phone cameras (still and video) must not be used in spaces where these are banned, for example changing rooms, gyms and swimming pools. Using mobile camera (still and video) to film people and their activities without their knowledge and/or permission is an invasion of privacy and is not permitted.
Schools which decide to allow the use of mobile phones at schools should clearly and regularly advise students, parents and guardians of their expectations with regard to
