THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter presents the outline of the study, including
theoretical framework, significance of the study, scope and
delimitation, hypotheses and the terms operationally defined in
the study.
“The day will come when technology surpass human
interaction.” - Albert Einstein
Excessive use of gadgets such as mobile phones, tablets, and
computer desktops can cause physical and mental damage to
children.
According to a study, a child will likely to
become overweight and develop seizure and vision problems when
they spend too much time using gadgets. In Central Visayas, one
of the regions in the Philippines, a National Nutrition Council
(NNC) Region 7 study reported that 3% of children are considered
as obese and overweight.
A health article also states that the thinking and emotional
development during the first five years of a child is crucial.
Allowing them to spend more than two hours a day can impact
irreversible damage such as slow cognitive development and
attention deficit.
Electronic gadgets were initially marketed as a source of
communication. Although we cannot deny that there are various
functions and benefits from using internet and technology through
gadgets, we need to admit that it is silently destroying
effectiveness of socialization among community. As the world
grows into technologically sophisticated, there is a great demand
for the hottest electronic gadgets. Cellphones support a wide
variety of other services such as, text messaging, multimedia,
email, internet access, Bluetooth, business apps, games,
photography, and calendaring, among others. Nowadays, many people
using gadgets and technologies some use it for study, some use it
for work and some use it for entertainment and personal matters.
Many studies about gadgets appears during this pandemic, some
have a good result, and some have a bad result. The good result
is it help us people to make our work easy, and the bad result is
it has a bad impact to our health and habit, it makes us lazy and
not productive. Technology has been found to have its negative
impact on academic performance on most of students. There are
many technological gadgets to which students are addicted. They
waste their valuable time on these silly gadgets without worrying

about the studies. This is resulting in their poor performance.
This is one of the biggest problems created by growing
technology. Students are future of our country, our world. The
sad thing is that due to increasing technology, students have
been found going away from their moral values. Internet is
working as curse for student’s character. Rather than using
internet in productive manner, students use it in gaming or
browsing in social media.
The modern gadgets and technology have become predominant
determinants of socioeconomic status and not only is restricted
to teenagers but is spreading fast across generations. Addiction
to technology is causing significant loss of productivity as well
as problems in interpersonal relationships. It has been
postulated that rather than a separate entity, internet addiction
is a manifestation of a variety of depression, anxiety, impulse
control disorders or pathological gambling. There have been
rehabilitative measures to correct internet overuse. Technophobia
is the fear or dislike of modern technology, particularly
computers. Let us welcome the technological revolutions with a
widespread awareness of its potential danger. The generation of
today needs to move ahead with bright vision and better tomorrow.
The list of modern-day gadgets is exhaustive and includes
Laptops, iPads, iPods, Video games, Smart phones and play
stations. These modern gadgets and technology have become
predominant determinants of socioeconomic status and is not only
vastly popular amongst teenagers and young adults but are fast
spreading across all generations. This increasing dependence on
technological gizmos has far-reaching consequences.
Parents often complain that their sons or daughters are
increasingly addicted to their mobile phones or play video games
and watch television the whole day. Human intelligence has
evolved, so have our gadgets and the internet. Mechanized
communications in social networking sites have largely replaced
warm interpersonal interactions that once formed the basis of
lasting bonds and relationships. ‘Emotions’ have been replaced by
Emoticons’. It would not be wrong to say that “Man has become
slaves to the modern-day gadgets.” In the words of the Michael
Cowdry the chief operating and development officer of
Sledgehammer Games, “All these gadgets, the phone and the
computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that’s
bad.” People prefer to spend their weekends and spare time at
home in front of these gadgets. What is the reason you conduct
this thesis.
Setting of the study:
The setting of the study was focused on The Effects of
Gadgets in the Life of Students in Brgy.579 Sampaloc Manila under
the administrative district of Brgy. 579 Sampaloc Manila Its
population as determined by the 2015 census was 1615 this
represented 0.43% of the total population of manila and the land
size 1444 6034, 121, 0063.
Figure 1.0
Theoretical framework
This study was anchored on the study conducted by Murah
(2016) who found that using a mobile phone and other electronic
gadgets for an extended time even affects students who habitually
study a lot. A lack of sleep or reduced study time as a result of
mobile phone usage is not the only way these devices affect
performance at school. Students who spent over two hours every
day both studying and using messaging apps, especially the
popular line, scored worse on a math exam than those who spent
less than minutes a day but didn’t-t use a smartphone at all.
Sato (2015) added that when people talk about children using
smartphones in negative sense, their main concern seems to be
about their criminal use, butt this study calls the attention of
parents and students to the risk that excessive use of
smartphones can compromise student’s effort to study. Cell phones
or mobile phones have %become a very important part of our daily
lives. It is very difficult to imagine our life without a cell
phone as most of our work is done using cell phones. Everything
has its pros and cons and mobile phones to have its positives and
negatives.

Significance of the study
This study determined the effects of using gadgets in the
Students in Brgy. Sampaloc Manila and it will benefit the
following:
Students - They will understand the advantages of using
technology in education and how it may help them study more
efficiently.
Parents - This study well helps the parents on how they handle
the time spent of their children using gadgets and what they will
do if their children get addicted in using gadgets. Using gadgets
to gather information may lead to improved educational
possibilities, family interaction, and communication with
individuals we would not otherwise have the opportunity to
communicate with. A gadget brings joy to the family. With the
advent of webcam and other video accessories, staying away from
family and friends is no longer painful. This importance of
machines can make distant things come near and make human
accessibility very easy.
Researchers - Future researchers may find this work useful in
their own research. They might expand the scope of their own
research or make improvements to this research study.

Hypothesis
There is no significant difference between the educational stages
of the respondents on the assessment of the effects of using
gadgets among the students in Brgy. Sampaloc Manila.
Scope and Limitation
The scope of this study is consisting of the students from
Senior high school and college of Brgy. 579 Sampaloc Manila. With
population of 1,703. Those students who are not from Brgy. 579
Sampaloc Manila are excluded in the study.
Definition of Terms
The following terms are operationally and/or conceptually
defined to provide clearer #understanding of this study.
Cell phone or mobile phone - This is a device that can make and
receive telephone calls over a radio line while moving around a
wide geographical area. Besides it can also provide a variety of
other services like text messaging, playing music, email,

Chapter 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents a review of related literature and
study which were used by the researchers as a frame of technology
dependency in conceptualizing their study. The positive and
negative effect between the cited studies and researcher’s
proposed study and discussed briefly at the end of discussion.
Foreign Literature
Harder (2021) "The electronics and appliances in our homes
account for about 20 percent of personal energy use, according to
the U.S. Department of Energy [source: U.S. Department of
Energy]. But some gadgets can put a bigger drag on your electric
bill than others, and nearly all continue drawing power even
after they're turned off, a phenomenon known as standby power
usage (or "vampire power," one of its more colorful nicknames)."
Golden peak high school (2020) "Negative effects that children
addicted to technology/gadgets may lead you to an unhealthy
lifestyle. Too much on-screen may lead you to the poor posture or
overweight of the body. The children who are addicted to
gadgets/video games may forget to drink water, eat food on time,
and spend more time at the same place.

In most of the world’s cases, many children/students are having
back pain, neck pain, hand pain, headache, eye problem, and more
risk of macular degeneration, which may lead you to blindness.
Diabetes, obesity, gas trouble, etc. are also the leading causes
of addiction to gadgets.
Gadgets effect on behavior and mental changes. Especially
children/students spend more time on games. Playing video games
can also slow down the brain growth. Students who spend a lot of
time on gadgets may become more violent, lose interest in other
things of the environment surrounding them, laziness, less
interest in other hobbies, and lacking interest in academics.
This problem leads children/students to bad personalities
Gadgets effects on learning things. Using gadgets is also a good
thing, but the misuse or spending more time on gadgets will
reduce the learning ability and other outdoor activity. It makes
you sacrifice other learning things and make you feel no time for
other things, which is very harmful. Also, Make the student feel
difficult to complete their work. It interferes with their study
time. Gadgets hurt your internal time management if students are
addicted to technology or misuse it."

Ministry of Health Singapore (2021) "We’re raising a new
generation of children who lead device-driven lifestyles. While
computers and hand-held devices are becoming more of necessities
than luxuries, our children should not be inseparable from them.
We are raising a new generation of children who lead device-
driven lifestyles. While computers and hand-held devices are
becoming more of necessities than luxuries, our children should
not be inseparable from them. Two hours per day for 7–18-year-
olds is the recommendation you should stick with.
There may be parents among us who are battle-weary, having fought
to tear our children away from their handphones, tablet computers
and whatnot. It is always tempting to give in, believing that our
kids will have to learn to be tech-savvy sooner rather than
later.
Stay easy — up to two hours a day is quite safe, but beware the
following health problems that could arise from too much screen
time and poor tech habits, besides the risks of addiction:
It is an instantly recognizable silhouette: the figure hunched
over a device. Pretty soon, that hunch is there even when the
device is not. To make it worse, the back and shoulder muscles
start complaining, too.

An uncomfortable seat, a set-up with poor ergonomics, sitting too
long or slouching lazily — these all contribute to the problem.
Laptop computers can aggravate things because the monitor and
keyboard are so close. Users either lift their shoulders to type
or hunch their shoulders to see.

This classic overuse injury shows up as pain, stiffness or
swelling in the fingers and wrist.
Is your child twisting his wrist to use the mouse in an awkward
way? Or does that game have him make forceful or repetitive
movements? Is she texting for long periods? These can injure
nerves and tendons. “It hurts when I write with my pen” is an
excuse for not doing homework that you don’t want to hear!
Dry eyes, a burning sensation, problems focusing… these are
symptoms of eye strain that all device users commonly face.
Bright light, high screen contrasts, glare and flickering images
may make a game or video more exciting, but really take their
toll on your eyes. Squinting at a small hand-held device adds to
the strain. An enraptured kid is also less likely to blink, which
makes things worse.

Additionally, not spending time on outdoor activities exposes
children to the risk of developing myopia.
Children seldom get headaches, but too much screen-time can bring
one on.
A combination of muscle tension at the base of the skull and an
assault on the eyes is the usual cause, as well as stress.
Time spent on devices may feel indulgent, but studies have shown
that overuse increases stress levels instead.
Constant stress over a prolonged period could adversely affect
the heart, sleep, digestion, and emotions.
Too much time on a device does not just drain the brain, it tires
the body, too.
Being still for long periods reduces blood circulation and can
put stress on muscles and joints. The result — getting tired
without even moving much.
Research has confirmed exposure to mobile phones and other
devices can cause changes in brain activity and sleep
disturbances. This could also be a stress symptom.
Tech devices make great babysitters because they keep kids still
for so long, but that lack of physical activity is a major

contributing factor to childhood obesity and its accompanying
risks.
A 2011 study by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
revealed 92% of handphones harbor bacteria, including 16% with
the dangerous E.coli strain. In our climate, such bacteria can
survive for hours!
When exposed to all those germs on devices, which can easily be
transferred from kid to kid, it’s only a matter of time before
they fall ill."
Golden peak High school (2020) "The overuse of gadgets makes the
student be far from real-time human connection. Students who were
found spending more time on gadgets find themselves losing touch
with other real social relationships. They may engage in more
online friends than offline friends. They feel uneasy about face-
to-face interaction with other people. It makes students feel
difficult to face the public. They love to stay alone."
Wardynski (2019) "Technology is more than an abstract concept
associated with advanced tools and systems used by businesses and
end-users for convenience and automation of complex tasks. It
also shapes the way societies and people behave, grow, evolve,
and develop, both within their own lives and in their

relationships with others. While technology has developed over
the millennia that humans have existed - from simple tools such
as the wheel, irrigation systems and chariots, to complex tools
such as computers, cell phones, the Internet and airplanes - the
last century has seen an explosion in technology that has
influenced subtle but crucial changes in how humans see the world
and interact with others. Specifically, the Internet and mobile
devices (i.e. smartphones, tablet computers, mobile gaming
systems, etc.) have radically altered the way people interact
with each other, since one of the major impacts of technology is
the optimization of communication systems in the form of
telecommunications and networking. While the Personal Computer
and other electronics affected human interaction, they arguably
did not have such critical impacts on human sociology until
mobile computers came about. Mobile devices brought
groundbreaking change to human interaction due to the innate
nature of always being connected to the digital world via an
easy-to-carry device that one carries around."
Foreign Studies
Atlantis Press (2018) "Emotional development cannot be separated
from social skill development. Because people live in environment

with behavior and emotion which will be judged by their social
life. Therefore, the success of social development in children
will be strongly dependent on their social development because
children will not acquire various kind of characters in social
environment from gadget. Children will not be addicted to gadget
if parenting and parents’ role is prioritized for children
development. Parents are demanded to play active role to
supervise and control their children in using gadget, so their
development is not delayed because they use gadget excessively.
Parents should use smart parenting because it will strongly
influence on child individual. Letting children nto use gadget
for a long time or excessively will make them become addicted to
gadget and it give negative effect to their emotional
development, and they will less understand social adjustment in
environment because their lack of interaction. "
Qutoshi, Deeba et al., (2020) "It is concluded from the study
that usage of technological gadgets has both positive and
negative impacts on children’s socialization at their early
ages. However, the
Journal of Development and Social Sciences (JDSS)June, 2020
Volume 1, Issue 263impact, to a great extent, depends on the

nature and purpose of using the technological gadgets. It
also depends upon how aware parents are and what is the
amount of time parents spend with their children while they
use tools of technology and social media applications. For
example, the engagement of children with gadgets for
educational purposes is a positive sign and it leads children
towards improving their knowledge ands kills. On the other
hand, if children engage most of the time in watching
cartoons and games etc. the impact of using technology for
such purposes remains negative in many ways such as
physically inactive (i.e., remain virtually connected while
sitting in a corner of their home) and socially isolated (e.g.,
limited within a room at home etc.). The study found that parents
need to supervise their children and provide these technological
tools to their children for a limited period of time.
Children who are engaged with excessive usage of technological
gadgets limit them to engage with outdoor activities. This
unlimited use of technology also hinders on way to develop
creative skills, thinking to discover nature, and limit their
interaction with friends, family members and relatives.
Moreover, excessive usage of technological gadgets has negative

effects on physical, mental and emotional health of children
at their early ages, which can effect on the later ages."
Othman, Khairuz, et al.(2020) "The result of this study will help
the Ministry of Education and also secondary school itself to
plan for a better and help in reducing the number of students who
spent most of their total time on electronic gadget and
continuously affecting their academic achievement. The Ministry
of Education and schools should plan a strategy for limiting
excessive time spent on electronic gadget by promoting positive
lifestyle modification and encourage physical activity among
students. Parents also should play an important role in
controlling the usage of electronic gadget use among children.
Children tend to follow what their parents did. Therefore, if the
parents portray a good role model in controlling electronic
gadget use, encourage children to study or be a mentor for their
own child and always practice appropriate physical activities,
they will naturally follow their parent’s attitude."
Buabbas, Madawi, et al. (2020) "This study concluded that the
overuse of ST devices (in terms of both the hours of use per day
and the time per session) among school-aged children could have
detrimental impacts on their health, and this was noted among

students in Kuwait. Healthcare professionals, school authorities
and parents could use these results to plan strategies to change
ST device use behaviors among schoolchildren."
Singh, Gupta, et al. (2020) "As per the research that was
conducted, and upon further analysis, a very clear picture is
being depicted- over half the students are living on a relatively
tight budget to cover their expenses and support their lifestyle,
which often goes unmaintained. Those who study in their hometown
spend relatively less as compared to those studying outside their
hometown, since the outstation students have to pay bills related
to accommodations, such as electricity, gas, etc. Major spending
of these students is on their lifestyle and entertainment, which
varies for every student. Students have become extremely brand
conscious today, since every brand conveys something different
about their personality. About half the respondents find dine out
as their most unavoidable expense, followed by movies. An
interesting finding was that more students reduced their daily
expenditure when faced with a budget deficit than those who asked
their parents for money. They also prefer to save a part of their
monthly allowance, mostly in cash form or in bank, which shows
good budgeting habits. A fraction also tends to invest their
savings in the financial markets. One very simple but effective

way students can reduce their spending is by analyzing their
behavior. They can do so by developing a behavior chart. This is
a method of keeping constant record of the students’ behavior and
providing reinforcement for that same behavior. These charts work
wonders when dealing with and changing student behaviors. It is
absolutely critical that university students educate themselves
about finance during their adolescence phase, as it is their best
possible chance to be successful in adulthood. However, having a
good financial knowledge base is not enough. Steady success
requires healthy and positive attitude along with supportive
parents who facilitate responsible financial attitude."
Local Literature
The last few years have seen the critical effects of wearable
devices as photonics / hardware on different parts of our a day
life, as an example, medical aid checking and therapy,
encompassing observing, delicate mechanical technology,
prosthetics, adaptable showcase, correspondence, human-machine
communications, etc. As per the development lately, the leading-
edge wearable gadgets and photonics are progressing quickly
toward the amount of artificial consciousness (AI) and web of

things (IoT), to accomplish a more elevated level of, comfort,
association, and knowledge. Thus, this survey gives a perfect
outline of the new advancement in wearable hardware, photonics,
and frameworks, regarding arising materials, transducing
components, primary designs, applications, and their further mix
with different innovations. To start out with, advancement of
gadgets for general wearable devices (hardware and photonics,
etc.) is summed up for the uses of actual detecting, substance
detecting, human-machine collaboration, show, correspondence,
etc. Finally the paper is trying to review the available
literature based on the Artificial Intelligence enabled wearable
devices using Machine Learning for healthcare.
Fototana and Rante (2017), states that application programmers,
design, create, and test the software programs for business
applications, desktop operating system, networking, websites, and
video games. In the last few years, technology has changed the
way of teaching and learning. Even the learning and teaching
process has been changed innovated. Studies nowadays are mostly
using this type of technology which are the educational mobile
applications that can be the easy way to find or to know
something in a short period of time. Now, education is no more
restricted to lectures, talks and physical objects, as

digitization has overcome this pattern of study. Additionally,
there are various educational mobile applications available in
the market but selecting the right one can change their mindset
at the process of learning. Educational applications are making
things easier to understand and making learning fun to the core.
LOCAL STUDIES
Vazquez (2014), stated that mobile applications has been
developed through two perspectives; the first being through a
descriptive methodology in which the current ST. GREGORY COLLEGE
OF VALENZUELA 162 P. Faustino St., Punturin, Valenzuela City 9
researcher has detailed the creation process of an application.
The second perspective being through a quantitative methodology
in which students' perceptions regarding the capabilities of
smartphones and apps for improving learning processes in
university subjects were assessed. Vazquez (2014), concluded that
the use of applications developed specifically for following
university subjects is highly valued by students as a new format
which both supports and enhances learning practices while also
providing not only further opportunities to establish connections
and relations with their subjects, but also fostering
collaborative work among students and professors. In this
generation using gadgets is very trend and one of the part of

individual's life. Using cellphone is very popular and have many
benefits according to usage like it can be used for
communication, gathering data, and also for better performance to
school and it is according to the applications that will be used.
When it comes on school performance, there's an app that can help
the students to make the study easier. It can also affect the
performance of the students in the academic purposes. In
addition, applications can be used to improve learning and
participation of the students and it can improve their self-
confidence. To conclude that, students valued the apps as their
learning materials that can help to improve their studies and to
improve learning of the student.
Alday and Pascual (2012), states that E-teaching is a method that
uses E-learning to educate the students. They also stated that
"The teachers of the graduate school are highly competent with
regards to computer skills necessary for Eteaching. They have
significant positive attitudes toward E-teaching and E-learning.
Furthermore, they demonstrated interest and enthusiasm in
indulging into various Eteaching strategies.” The proponents aim
to promote a concept of e-learning or mobile learning to the
future users of the proposed system. As imposed on the study the
educators also agreed on the significant effects of E-learning

that will maximize the teaching potentials for teachers as well
as learning potentials of the students. Mobile learning nowadays
have such a big factor around the globe for those students
wanting to learn more not only in school, but also outside of the
school. Mobile learning provides all the information a student
needs, in order to finish paper works or and assignments. There
are private schools in the Philippines that are already using
tablets for schoolwork. This is good news, but unfortunately,
most of these tablets are only used for reading e-books and most
probably used by students for gaming. There are yet many things
that can be done in order to maximize the school and the parents’
investment on a phone tablet. This is the reason why researchers
would like to introduce M-Learning.
Gorra, Bhati (2016) "It is concluded that most students in state
colleges and universities of Caraga region in the Philippines are
likely to use technology in classroom for the purpose of positive
consequences supporting the view that use of technology helps in
enhancing learning related activities in classroom. The
excitement of students in involving these technologies as part of
their learning can cause also disruptions inside the classroom
that being considered as negative consequences. Managing this
kind of problem should be included and part of the curriculum and

the concerned staff and faculty may take efforts on how these
technologies being use as a tool to achieve learning environment.
The purpose of this paper is to study the unintended consequences
of use of technology in class room in the context of Philippines.
This study fills an important gap in the literature because there
is no previous study on unintended consequences of use of
technology in teaching and learning in the context of
Philippines. The research question relates to unintended
consequences of use of technology during classroom activities
when students are expected to do class work. Table 1 summarizes
the results of various positive and negative consequences of use
of technology in class room. The results of table 1 are based on
students‟ perception about the positive and negative
consequences. It is concluded that students regard positive
consequences of use of technology to be more than negative
consequences. The most observed positive consequences were
instant messaging through chatting, lesson enquiry about
assignments, sending and receiving e-mails, research through
surfing the net including data gathering by downloading files and
sharing cultural experiences with others through internet. Among
the negative consequences listed by students were accessing
social websites like face book, twitter etc. during classroom,

playing games, playing music, answering and returning calls and
downloading and using copyrighted material. It is further
observed that incidence of positive and negative consequences
varies with the use of technology. The ranking of positive and
negative consequences differs in all the three cases of use of
technology - computer with internet, laptop with internet and
mobile with internet. From the frequency analysis of positive,
negative and net consequences of use of technology in classroom
it is observed that students are most likely to have negative
consequences using mobile with internet. Further it is observed
that students are likely to use technology in classroom for the
purpose of positive consequences as well as for the negative
consequences supporting the view that use of technology helps in
enhancing learning related activities in class room but
technology may also be used for distracting students from their
learning activities. This study however, is limited by the fact
that results are based on students‟ perceptions about the use of
technology in class room and specific to an education setting in
Philippines. "
Every individual now has the ability to access information not
only in the Philippines but also in other parts of the world,
thanks to the development of information and communication

technologies such as internet connections. Gadgets, such as
mobile phones and tablets, have become commonplace and have
become inextricably linked to the individual who uses them. Due
to other people use of social media to communicate their
sentiments, whether happy or bad, we may utilize it as an outlet
for our emotions. Others use it to keep track of their
activities, such as trips, reunions, events, letters, reports,
and timetables. On Facebook, you may also uncover daily routines
and places they went on a specific day and time.
(Raganta, Vargas, 2021) Parry (2016) stated that modern
technological devices have captured the attention of the world.
The degree of dependency that most individuals have is leading to
addiction to technological devices. Electronic gadgets occupied a
major position in our daily lives. Though they were invented to
make life better for us the first place it is an undeniable fact
that many of the gadgets have negative effects and influence upon
the quality of our lives in some ways.
According to Brown (2005) people cannot live without them in
this modern world and they are now considered necessity, people
have to find ways to reduce the negative impact of those

modern gadget. Many students are using the modern technology
improperly.
According to Nusir (2012), students who have access in their
home to new methods and tools of education through computers,
interactive learning, etc. may have also different and more
potential to absorb those technologies while used in the school
educational system. Although students commented positively toward
the use of technology, many students were unaware of certain
programs and software that could greatly enhance the learning
environment (Moawad & Ebrahem, 2016). This research study is
advantageous to students who are the main focus of this endeavor
for them to be enlightened about the crucial effects of learned
habits to them. Therefore, they would learn more to manage
appropriate, more productive and
constructive activities fundamental for their age. Students will
be guided and assisted on the advantages and disadvantages of
usage of electronic gadgets.
