It is apparent that smartphones and gadgets has made learning easier for the 21st century children. Courses are now easily accessible. School lessons are also flexible for both students and lecturer. More skills can now be acquired within qualified time. But the same devices that made these positive changes in the society also spurred dishonesty in these kids.
