Abstract : One of the most used and misused invention of science is mobile phone. On one hand the mobile phone made the user available 24*7 hours, whether at home or in office, travelling or sleeping, on the other hand it lead to an increase in the psychological distances. The individual is so occupied with mobile phone use that he is not aware of all that is going on in his/ her physical proximity. This paper aims at reflecting the pros and cons of mobile usage by the students. For this a survey of 97 college students and 84 parents was conducted on the question "Should the mobile phones be used in Colleges? The chi square was applied to test the null hypothesis. The data of around 180 young students and their parents revealed that there is a significant difference between their opinion regarding use mobile phones in college. Whereas some parents do feel that the students should be allowed to carry mobile phone to college for emergency use, yet most of them do not promote the idea of using mobile phones in college. According to them mobile phones should be carried only for emergency use. On the other hand, students think that the use of mobile phones in colleges help them clear doubts and get meaning of difficult words in the class.
