Smart Phone and Its Impact on the Mosul Society’s Culture - Analytical study –

The research aimed to identify the repercussions of smartphones on the culture of Mosul society. This research falls within the descriptive analytical studies that used the descriptive approach by identifying the positive and negative aspects that the smartphone has caused on the individuals of Mosul society and knowing the changes that have occurred in families as a result of their use of this electronic technology. The research reached a number of results, which are:
1-The smartphone had a significant impact on the culture of Mosul society, as it contributed to marginalizing the Arabic language, which represents the language of Islam and the Holy Quran, and made the English language the master of the rest of the languages, as most of the applications contained in smartphones are in the English language and not in the known Arabic language.
2- The rates of addiction to using the smartphone have increased among several social groups, especially among young people and children, for long hours without paying attention to their studies and work, which led to a decline in their scientific and productive level due to using the smartphone for long hours.
3- The smartphone has become a source of danger to human health due to its long-term use, which leads to poor eyesight, lack of concentration, forgetfulness, and the appearance of pain in the neck and joints, as a result of not moving much and the head being bent due to long viewing, which has led to the emergence of generations suffering from pain early due to this invention.
4-Immersion in the culture of Western society through the use of the smartphone, especially in their customs, traditions, clothing, and their distance from our tolerant Islamic society, which has led to the spread of vice, corruption, deviation, and various problems in society.
5-The addiction of children and youth to electronic games displayed on smartphones has contributed to these individuals learning methods of fighting, violence, and other harmful behaviors, which has contributed to harming youth and children healthily, psychologically, culturally, and socially.
