Abstract:
The rapid development of technology has penetrated almost all sectors of the society and makes any
form of resistance almost impossible. The incorporation of digital technology into adolescent’s daily
life, as well as its impact on their cognitive, emotional, and social development, is growing by the day.
They can use technology to play, explore, and learn in a variety of ways. This is because their brains are
so adaptable, these learning opportunities represent a vital growth stage throughout this time period,
which helps and encourages them to improve their communication skills and knowledge. No one will
deny the numerous benefits that accrue from digital technology usage such as the internet and social
network, which is an instant hit site that launches individuals into the world beyond imagination. A
growing number of adolescents believe that happiness is linked to direct and indirect interactions with
digital environments and technology that facilitate and mediate communication. This study investigated
