Mobile phone has become an essential tool used by young people. Currently, it is not just a device for communication. The variety of applications on the phone, Internet access, built-in camera and the camera made the mobile phone has become very important, multipurpose tool used by students. Today's phones can be well used tool for intellectual work. Unfortunately, their versatility, innovation and interactivity can also cause very intense young man involved in the use of this device. Young people very often do not turn off their phones, even at the night. Telephone accompanied at all the time, young people often connect to the Internet, come on facebook or write text messages while talking to close person, in the classroom, at the work or during a meal. The point is that the young person is simultaneously in two different worlds: the real and the cyberspace. Thus, it seemed to be reasonable for us to ask: Is the young man from the tribe of the network able to exist without a mobile phone? What emotions and behaviours stir absence of access to this tool up?
In order to diagnose the problem, we used the method of ethnography. The use of this technique: observation, interview and analysis of photographs. Before we began to test asked students about switch off their phones for 24 hours. Not all of students taking part in the study endured 24 hours without your phone.
The study was conducted at universities in Poland and Germany. Objective of them was to diagnose culture differences, in using mobile phones and comparing emotionion, how make them absence of mobile phone feel like. Result of research have shown that students from both of countries exhibit similar modes of using mobile phones. Students from both countries have the same point of view: the phone is an essential tool to communicate and to navigate around a cyberspace (Internet access via phone, facebook, my space, etc.). Polish students have the same filings about absence of access to a mobile phone compared with German. Majority of them feels frustrated, empty, anxious and restless. It should be noted, what could be suprising, that students from both countries Poland as well as German who have a spouse and/or children feel in the same situation calm, relax, and even euphoria. Students who work feel at the very big concern, in Germany and in Poland was stressful . Gender, which was one of the variables allowed differentiation observed that women just like men are not willing to part without their mobile phones. However, in Germany as well as in Poland students with a child or children feel positive emotions while excluding mobile phones.
