1. Introduction:
The Social Networking sites are web based services (Websites) which acts as a medium for youngsters to share their social activities or to share their interest in a particular topic with their friends, colleagues and family. These social networking sites have both positive and negative impacts on students. The majority of students use smartphones for accessing social media and all other online activities. This paves way for two types of security issues such as social media security issues and smartphone security issues. Thereby we have to eradicate the smartphone and social networking threats by implementing Centralized Cyber Security and Device Management System (CCSDMS). In this project we use Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR II) software tool, for the effective implementation of Centralized Cyber Security and Device Management System.

With improvements in technology, it is no surprise that people everywhere are connected with each other all over the world. The newest technologies of today are only continuing to improve, as they are becoming more widespread every day. Smartphones, which are a broad part of this technological craze, are sweeping the nation into the hands of teenagers today, many preferring to use them instead of socializing with people face to face. These improvements, however, come with consequences. Smartphones are destroying a generation by causing the teenagers today to be more stressed, anxious, and depressed.
Facebook is currently the most popular means of social media with nearly a billion users per month (eBizMBA, 2014). Such heavy usage raises the possibility of users sharing massive amounts of data, intentionally or otherwise, via the internet. Facebook collects all this data and stores them. A critical examination of Facebook’s pr...

Lenhart, Madden, and Hitlin (2007) from the Pew Report, report that 84% of teenagers (21 million) possess at least one personal media device such as a computer, cell phone or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and that 44% possess more than one device. Merely 16% reported owning no personal media device. This may seem like a troubling occurrence, but technology has impacted this generation in a positive manner. Never before were parents able...
Teenagers are now more obsessed with their phones than ever before. According to Eugenia Ives, writer and researcher, 80% of our youth today have phones (Ives 19). Eugenia Ives, and many other researchers, refers to this generation that which own so much technology and have always grown up with technology as the iGeneration. Research shows that within this iGeneration the average age for a child to receive a phone is twelve. These numbers sound crazy to those whom did not grow up with this mass amount of technology; it wasn’t too long ago that only the privileged had a phone, but now, almost everyone one see has a phone. With this increase in number of phones, teenagers use digital technology on average seven and half hours out of their day (Ives 10). Increased digital consumption has created increased use of social media. Today there are over seven and a half million Facebook users under the age of thirteen, five million of which are under the age of eleven (Ives 20). In Ives ‘ study her research shows that one

Now 47% of those students own smartphones, which is up 23% from 2011 (Madden et al., 2013). The internet and computers are also on the rise. 74% of teens have access to the internet (Madden et al., 2013). 93% have access to a computer and “one in four teens (23%) have a tablet computer, a level comparable to the general adult population” (Madden et al., 2013).

Technology and its many forms are used all over the world, almost every minute of the day, to perform tasks in a normal everyday routine.

“ They (cell phones) allow people to stay connected to friends and family, for example, and provide a way to report crimes and emergencies…” ( How Does Cell Phone Use Impact Teenagers 9).
