MAL-ADAPTATION OF ICT IN RAISING THE SEXUAL SENSITIZATION

ICT has revolutionized the mode of data transfer and storage in the modern world and has simultaneously given rise to many evils. The paper is an attempt to reveal the ways through which people misuse ICT. The study, qualitative in nature, focuses on the difference between gender sensitization and sexual sensitization and the affect of ICT on early adolescence in young males and females. The data was gathered from 68 respondents of collectively from Post Graduate College for Women, and PMAS-AAUR University with the help of a semi-structured questionnaire. The Chi-Square analyses affirm the associational relation between misuse of ICT for overt entertainment; use of ICT for sexually explicit material and increased sexual sensitization among youngsters. Hence, ICT misuse which has increased dramatically over the past few years negatively affects the adolescents. Moreover the results reveal that since access to internet has been made easy, indoor activities and pastimes are preferred which are often unsupervised and mostly social inappropriate.
