Abstract

Happiness has been considered as the final goal for human-beings and everyone strives for it. Technology has become part of daily life and it is related to happiness. This offers various platforms and tools of socialization so that people can share their ideas globally, connect with their friends and overcome loneliness.

We must intervene to minimize abuse of technology. Advantages and disadvantages of technology use in school are discussed. This paper also focuses on how controlled use of technology can facilitate Indian strategies helpful in enhancing happiness among school students.
