    Suggestions & Recommendations
    • Awareness should be spread out about the use of such devices that are
    specifically developed to emit fewer radiations.

    • Proper Training & workshops must be provided to the employees who are unable
    to digest the new digitalized processes

    • Promote the use of digitalized processes introduced by Government of India such


    as Digi-locker, E-payments, E-hospitals etc.

    • Think twice before sharing data to unknown sources, do proper scrutiny before
    leaking any personal information.

    • Awareness regarding the diseases caused due to excessive use of devices which
    emit radiations & electronic waves, such as like cancer ulceration, genetic
    diseases etc. must be spread.

    • E-waste should be properly disposed of.

    • “Let the user be aware” should be the concept .


    Conclusion

    • People have created solitary i.e. loneliness


    • Digital relation has come into existence
    • Many friends on social media but no true friends
    • Every one roams in their own fake & temporary digital world
    • Radiations emitted through smartphones affect bones of children
    • People are unaware about the effects of excessive usage of such devices
    • Benefits such as E-health care & online solutions exist but can’t replace
    personal consultancy
