Abstract
Mobile phone with Internet as a tool, for daily life can facilitate searching for information gathering, job opportunities, news and entertainment (music downloads). Given that,, the adolescent population continues to use mobile phones, more heavily than older age groups. Adolescents are using mobile phone and internet, for the purpose of use of social networking sites like Facebook, Goggle, and Twitter, to send and receive messages, to share photos, videos, games and applications. Adolescents, like to use online chat feature, to make social arrangements, keep in touch with friends and talk about things that are important to them. The mobile phone is not only a fashion item, but also serves as a multipurpose device, for example for downloading videos and music, surfing the Internet and taking pictures (Grant, 2007). Usage of internet by adolescents and the younger generation views the internet, as a useful source of information and channel, for speedy communication. It is also an effective medium of socialization (Ellery, 2008).
