Are dictators ever really successful at hindering the diffusion of social networking services (SNSs)? This study reports a panel data analysis on 181 countries observed from 2010 to 2013, to assess country-level predictors of Facebook adoption. The findings show that the spread of such a global SNS decelerates as perceptions of democratic governance deteriorate above and beyond socioeconomic and infrastructural development. Nevertheless, once dictatorship fails to maintain socio-political stability, the diffusion of Facebook accelerates to a greater extent than in democracy. This trend could transcend institutional constraints, as well as socioeconomic developments, because of widespread proliferation of mobile phone use in addition to increasing wireless or shared connectivity in urban areas.

The Way

Social Networking is a good source to stay connected with others so it can be used as a tool in teaching. Those students, who are not able to learn the concept in the regular classroom, go to tuition. They work whole night to complete their homework and assignments meanwhile they cannot resist themselves from using social networking sites. They have a view that they can multitask, but actually, most of the concentration is in social networking and messengers and less in studies. So ultimately their studies suffer. Because of this, they feel unrest in next day classroom also. To change the habit of using the mobile phone and social networking is very difficult. Now they are addicted to using these. So, the only solution is to change the way they use these things. The only requirement is training the student about the use of these systems, for which they are made of. So, the basic aim of this research is how social networking can be used as an Efficacious tool in teaching and utilizing the time wastage on social networking sites and messenger by students in studies.

The Relationship

The present study was planned to investigate the relationship between the mobile phone dependence and mood states among adolescents. The sample of the present study consisted of 100 school going adolescents 50 boys and 50 girls. Test of Mobile Phone Dependence developed by Choliz (2010) and Eight State Questionnaire by Curran and Cattell (1989) were used to assess the level of mobile phone dependence and the mood states among adolescents. Results showed that the excessive dependence on mobile phones is significantly correlated with mood states among adolescents, however, no signs of serious level of depression is found in both boys and girls due to mobile phones. It was also observed that adolescents primarily use their phones to access social networking platforms than for other purposes. The excessive use of mobile dependence pattern is related to higher negative psychosocial costs. Hence, there is an urgent requirement to take notice about the amplified use of mobile phones by the adolescents and generate awareness about the ill effects in society.

The Future

Many practitioners are looking for ways to bring the vitality of Mobile 2.0—for example, social networking via a mobile phone (cellphone), or photo sharing on a mobile blog—into formal learning and teaching. But they face a complex and even paradoxical challenge: how can they harness that vitality without stifling its most distinctive feature—the fact that it is user led? This chapter begins with an analysis of that paradox as a foundation for understanding the challenges that practitioners face now and in the future. Drawing on data from interviews with six experienced tertiary practitioners, the authors describe and analyze a number of examples that point to the particular power of mobile devices to blur formal and informal activity in people’s lives. The aim is to look beyond the hype around innovations in mobile devices and connectivity to focus on the opportunities for practitioners to bend the arc of Mobile 2.0 to the needs of their learners.

The Relationship

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between no mobile phobia (nomophobia) which is defined as a modern fear of being unable to communicate through the mobile phone, and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) which is known to be related with the problematic relationship with Social Networking Sites (SNSs), and play a critical role in the increased use of Social Networking Sites (SNS). The data were collected from a convenient sample of 538 university students via Nomophobia (NMP-Q) and FOMO Scales, The results show that a positive moderate level of relationship was found between Nomophobia and FOMO levels. The findings showed that FOMO level of university students predicts 41% of the total variance at the Nomophobia level. That is, when FOMO level increases, students’ nomophobia level can be predicted from data depicting the increase.
