- Over the last decades, the pace of progress in technology has been rapid, especially in the
information communication technologies. The recent advances which have changed the way
people live is the smartphone. It has become an inseparable element of people’s lives in modern
society, in particular young people’s daily lives. A smartphone is not solely a cell phone, it is also
a computer, MP3 player, Video player, Notebook, etc. In North Cyprus, there has not been a study
to determine university students’ smartphones usage status. For this reason, the main purpose of
the study was to redress this lack. 318 students attended the study. A questionnaire was used to
collect data. Mann Whitney-U, Anova, frequently and percentage were used during the analysis
process. The results showed that the students spend much more time using a smartphone.
However, their academic performance and social interactions have not been affected.
