Generation Z, often characterised as digital natives, has grown up in an environment where technology particularly smartphones—is a constant presence. This pervasive exposure to digital devices has significantly shaped their daily lives, cognitive development, and moral reasoning. The omnipresence of technology presents both opportunities and challenges in the formation of their character and social behaviours. Empirical studies indicate that approximately 95% of individuals within this generation possess access to a smartphone, employing it for a variety of functions including communication, education, and entertainment. Notably, around 77% report using these devices for at least three hours per day, frequently engaging in multitasking across multiple digital platforms. Such continual connectivity has not only become a defining characteristic of their lifestyle but also exerts a considerable influence on their worldview, identity construction, and interpersonal dynamics.
