This thesis explores the impact of smartphones on various aspects of adolescents' lives, with a
special focus on educational processes and social interactions. Researches have shown that
smartphones offer significant advantages in education by providing access to a wide range of
resources, personalized learning, and increasing student engagement. This thesis also examines
the role of smartphones during the Covid-19 pandemic, when their usage drastically increased.
The pandemic further highlighted some pre-existing challenges, such as excessive device use,
potential disruptions in learning, and reduced personal interaction. This work confirms that
smartphones have complex effects on adolescents, emphasizing the need for a balanced
approach to their use. Proper integration of these technologies can bring substantial benefits,
but it is essential to develop clear guidelines that minimize potential negative consequences and
enable the optimal use of technology in educational processes and adolescents' social
interactions.
