Abstract
The present study was conducted to seek the opinion regarding mobile usage among boarder and non-boarder adolescents. The study was comprised of 200 adolescents (100 boarders and 100 non-boarders) belonging to middle socio-economic status in 17–18 years of age range, randomly selected from two colleges of Punjab Agricultural University of Ludhiana. A self structured schedule on mobile usage was administered to assess adolescents’ opinion regarding mobile usage. The results revealed that a significantly large proportion of boarder students opined mobile phone as informative but also divided the people whereas non-boarders felt that it helps to express sentiments and unites the people. A significantly large percentage of boarders and non-boarders felt that text messaging impinges writing skills. A greater percentage of boarders and non-boarder adolescents had a feeling of sadness on the rejection of call and also opined that there should be age limit to possess a mobile phone.
