Abstract

21st century individuals have taken to innovation in an unprecedented fashion. This increase in use of technology has prompted attention towards the evaluation of the outcomes of technology usage, and how this affects the young learner’s brain and their socio-enthusiastic, psychological and physical development. Our research is toward drawing out the pros and cons of app usage in the younger generation. The online App based learning makes technology move towards smart training, however it correspondingly directs various positive and negative effects to the student's utilization of innovation. These may adversely influence the children’s physical, mental, enthusiastic, and social well-being. The result of innovation can lead to uncontrolled practices like addiction to mobile devices. This article attempts an investigation of App based learning and the various ramifications involved. The paper demonstrates the study from the base of satisfaction factors, classroom environment, and low-income households for different analysis factors with an in-depth explanation.
