The same kind of research was done in universities of Indiana and Colorado, to see the influence of these modern gadgets upon the studies of students whether it benefits them or not. All students were provided with mobile tablets with pre-installed software’s, medical e-books and video conferencing and messing tools to share their queries and knowledge among themselves. Along with this, all students were strictly instructed that these tabs have to be used only for educational purposes and for their personal work. After some time it was seen that almost 90% of the students had really appreciated this project as they were able to solve their study problems much easily and in a lesser period of time. Students recommended that such tabs and iPods should be provided in every university and to every student. Mobiles and smart phones can benefit in variety of ways such as:
