Abstract
This research aims to investigate the impact of developments in mobile phone technology on education and learning in the digital era. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. From this research it can be concluded that the use of mobile phones has a significant impact on various aspects of life, be it mental well-being, social relationships, or academic achievement. Research shows that individuals who are addicted to mobile phones tend to experience mental problems such as emotional instability, attention deficit, and depression. Additionally, excessive use can also hinder social interaction and have a negative impact on productivity, especially among students. Although there are positive benefits, such as easy access to information and supporting the learning process, it needs to be emphasized that unwise use of mobile phones can have serious consequences for individual well-being. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness of these negative impacts and encourage policies and norms that support the balanced and responsible use of mobile phones in everyday life.
