Electronic gadgets have evolved into indispensable communication tools for people of all ages, cultures and social situations. Their extensive use improves connectivity and information sharing nonetheless, this technological growth has downsides, notably in terms of youth socialization. The study was conducted in Manipur aimed to assess how much time college students spent on mobile devices. A descriptive survey approach was used to collect data from 600 college students from Imphal East and Imphal West districts, including 311 females and 289 males. The major data collection tool was a self-structured questionnaire with a cronbach’s alpha reliability of 0.70 that evaluated device usage patterns. The analysis indicated that an important proportion of students routinely engage with their devices during leisure time, more than fifty percent reported utilizing electronic gadgets "often" or "always" in their free time. These data show that electronic gadgets are not only common among students, but they also play an important role in defining their daily routines and lifestyle habits. The study concluded that technology has a significant impact on the present generation's social activities, stressing both the benefits and the harmful consequences of relationships with other people.
