How Technology has effected on Student’s Behaviour ?

Technology becomes inevitable in today's scenario. The drastic change of world in this century is caused by technical development in all fields. Due to use of modern technologies we have been moved into world where gadgets and technologies be-come part and parcel of life. We are going to discuss the usage of gadgets like cellphone and Computers and how it affects social and family life of a student and make changes in the behaviour of the student.

Usage of Gadgets: 

Business People spent about an average of 4 to 5 hours in using gadgets like cell phone, tab and laptop. But students spent about an average of 7 to 9 hours a day in usage of gadgets, mostly in their Mobile phones. Most of the students use their gadgets in class or lecturing hours that make them distracted from their listening  and their studies.

By using gadgets continuously in night or in low light situations they have health issues like having problem in eyesight, headache. Even though we have LED and OLED Technologies, continuous exposure to bright light affects their eye.

When it comes for the students their Behavioural part, they are ready to go to any extend for accomplishing the given task. Particularly students who play Strategic games like Call of Duty that involves in usage of weapons and fighting techniques, their attitude and Behaviour got affected badly and they are very harsh towards peers. They start fighting for silly matters with parents and their siblings. They got frustrated easily for not completing their level in the game.

How it Affects the Behaviour? 

When the students or children didn't get what they want, they start behaving like rude and rigid. Girls start crying, throwing and breaking things. They are struggling to judge which is important and which is not important. They are focusing to get the temporary happiness or time pass and they are not aware of how much it is going to help them for the future.

We made a survey with school students in our training program, we observed the following contents:

1.  87% of students were in social network like Facebook and What’s app.

2.  76% of students daily use gadgets like Cellphones and Laptops

3.  Students spend an average of 45 minutes in seeing TV and Playing video games.

4.  Above 30% percentage of students said they can’t eat without using cellphone or playing games in gadgets.

Recommendations:

Students have to Schedule time or allocate time for using gadgets. Students should Divert their time into the Positive areas of interest using apps like Puzzles, Crosswords and Sudoku. Spending good time on technology for improving knowledge and skills.

Skip to main function - let's get creative

Do you ever look at the work of your friends and colleagues and wish you were as creative as they're? How about when you’re in the middle of a project and you run out of ideas? You rack your rain trying to force the next great epiphany but nothing comes.

So you take a break for a while and move on to something else. You might even lose sleep over it. You return to it the next day and find that you’re not closer to any inspiration than you were when you left it. It takes you forever to come up with mediocre ideas while the people around you are producing masterpieces left and right.

The problem isn’t that you’re not creative. The problem is that you’re not tapping into your own resources. It takes intentionally developed mental strength to be creative.

1. Overcome self-doubt.

Self-doubt is a mental block that wipes out creativity. If you are notorious for having self-doubt, try this exercise to open up the flood gates of creativity.Picture your finished project.   What does it feel like?    Whom has it inspired? Picture it well, smell it, taste it, feel it. Now take a mental picture. This is now your mental model that’s attached to this project. When the doubt creeps in, pull this picture and the feeling attached to it into your conscious mind. Your self-doubt should crumble away. “The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” And by the way, you can write about any-thing in life if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise.

2. Make time.

Set time aside to work on your project. Incorporate a creative environment that brings inspiration, motivation and comfort. “One very important aspect of motivation is the willingness to stop and to look a things that no one else has bothered to look at. This simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.” 

3. Keep an open mind.

The subconscious mind is always coming up with ideas. They come in phrases, pictures, and sometimes in pieces, like a puzzle. Stay  open to little ideas  that crop up.  Don’t dismiss them as stupid or ridiculous. Write these epiphanies down and stay open. It might not be the entire picture, but it could, quite possibly be an important piece of the puzzle. Research, explore and broaden your horizons.

“Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people”

4. Fight fear of failure and rejection.

Don’t ever be afraid of creating junk. The most beautiful masterpieces, in art and in life, begin as what appears as junk. Your mistakes and rejections can be masterpieces for someone else.    When you make a mistake, or are rejected, learn from that experience to help someone else.    Most of the time, when you make a mistake, or try to help someone else from being turned down, you find new inspiration and ideas. “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.”

5. Build confidence with baby steps.

When a child learns to walk they begin by falling—a lot. They keep practising, and falling (failing) until finally they can take big steps. One tiny step sets the foundation for a bigger step tomorrow. Start by working in small time increments. When you do short bursts, it opens up your subconscious to “marinate” the ideas you've already worked on and to combine those with new ones. It’s called the Incubation Process and it’s a powerful technique for creativity and productivity. “You can’t use up creativity.  

6. Brainstorm.

Write down everything you can think of that might work or be something you will need at some point. Look at it from different angles. For example, look at it from the customer’s view when considering value. Look at it from a child’s view when considering simplicity.    Keep writing until your brain is exhausted of ideas. “Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try” 

7. Incubate.

Brainstorming is the conscious process; incubating is the subconscious process. This is where the majority of creativity comes from. If you really want to boost your creativity, take a break from your project after brainstorming so that your subconscious can bring forth ideas. Literally sleep on it if you have time and see what a huge difference this makes.“Creativity is one of the last remaining legal ways of gaining an unfair advantage over the competition.” Mastering the art of creativity simply means combining the mental strength to utilize both your conscious and unconscious mind. Use these tips every single day to increase your mental strength and you will find that the floodgates of creativity will burst open.

Procrastination can be a real pain in the rear end. It feels good blowing things off because that usually means we got to what we want to do instead of what we have to do, but there are some drawbacks to all that too. Working in a frenzy isn’t good for your stress levels or your blood pressure. Sometimes it does happen so let’s take a look at some productivity hacks to help you get your work done at the last minute.

1. Cut out all distractions:

When you’re coming down to the wire the last thing you need is a distraction. Every time you return a text message or stop for a moment to sing a song, that’s time you could have been spending working. Put your cell phone on vibrate, put it where you can’t see it, and focus on your work. If you’re at home studying for a big test, don’t put Netflix on because you’ll probably just end up watching that. If you must have music, try something without words like techno or classical because they can keep you motivated without stopping to make you listen to any lyrics. Distractions cost you time and if there’s one thing procrastinators can’t be wasting when a deadline is looming, it’s time.

2. Make a quick plan to tackle your work:
One of the biggest mistakes procrastinators make is to just jump into a pile of work without thinking about it. We recom-mend that you stop and think about it for a minute. It’s very likely that whatever it is you’re doing can be broken down into smaller tasks that are easier to handle. By breaking down your task into smaller tasks, you give yourself focus and a tried and true way to estimate your progress. Do yourself a favour, take five minutes to sit down and look at everything you have to do, and then tackle them in a manner that makes sense instead of just throwing yourself at your work.

3. Take it easy and start out slow
Doing last minute work is like running a mile. If you start running at a dead sprint, you’re going to wind up running out of steam more quickly. Start with something easy to get your mind and body prepared for the harder parts. You’ll find yourself in the zone eventually and then the harder stuff that takes longer will be something you’re prepared mentally to tackle.

4. Don’t expect any miracles
If you’re coming down to the wire to get your job done then you’re not going to be producing your best work ever. Especially if it’s a difficult project. That doesn't mean
you shouldn't try to put out good work but it does mean that you should be prepared to make concessions when something takes too much time. If you’re doing a presentation and you had a really fun animation you wanted to do for a Power Point slide, you may need to let that go and focus on getting work done.

5. Consume sustenance
Food and drinks provide us with energy. When you’re meeting a deadline you’re going to need all the energy you can get. When you go to your desk to start working on that deadline project, take something to eat and drink with you. The added energy will help improve your performance and chances of getting a good project done on time.

6. Just get started
Earlier we talked about making a plan and breaking your project into smaller chunks. It doesn't really matter which chunk you start with first. The important thing is that you get started immediately. We also recommended tackling the easier chunks first which is still a good idea. However, if you find yourself just not getting the ball rolling, we recommend you pick a chunk, sit down, and do it. At the end of the day, the important thing is that you sit down and get into that mindset that you need to do work and if you need to start on a harder chunk to get that accomplished, then do it.

7. Up the ante
One of the reasons we procrastinate is because we simply don’t care about the end result. It could be a presentation at the office or that term paper in that class you never wanted to take anyway. To get around not caring about something, try thinking about it a different way to in-crease its importance. If you don’t get that term paper done, you’ll have to take the class all over again and do the term paper again anyway. If you don’t knock that sales report out of the ballpark, you may be demoted or fired. If you have to do some-thing, you might as well do it right be-cause it could affect things you have to do in the future. Doing something over again because you didn't do it the first time is not a pleasant feeling

8. Identify when you’re just making excuses
This is the gateway to procrastination. You look at something and think of all the ways you can get it done later and not right now. If you can identify those excuses then it makes them harder to ignore. You may not feel well that day or you may want to watch the latest blockbuster in theatres with your friends. It’s something that doesn't sound like an excuse but it really is. People work when they don’t feel well all the time and blockbuster movies are in theatres for more than one day. Netflix can wait, go get your work done!

9. Don’t think in the abstract
The difference between abstract and concrete is something you ought to know. When you think abstractly, you would say something like “I should write my term paper about the Civil War.” It’s okay to think abstract when you’re first starting out but if you procrastinated then you’re well beyond the starting point. You need to think more concrete. Woody Allen once said that, “80% of success is showing up.” If you don’t show up and put some concrete ideas down on paper (so to speak), then you’re not going to get any work done and you’re going to stress yourself out more.

10. Forgive yourself
You may be sitting at your desk beating yourself up for letting this project of yours get this far out of control. Stop. It happens to everyone and you’re wasting valuable time, energy, and focus berating yourself. Everybody screws up. That’s why we have editors. Your job now is not to hate your-self but to fix the problem. So you should acknowledge that you messed up, forgive yourself, and get back to this business of living. You’ll save a lot of time and stress when you focus on the work instead of focusing on how you waited a week to start on the work.

Really the bottom line to procrastination is to not panic. The work is going to get done one way or another and you owe it to your-self to not let things get in the way. The very first item on this list is to avoid all distractions and really the other ten points are just other (more abstract) ways you can get distracted.  Bottom line: sit down, get it done. Th at’s all you really need to do.
