Abstract
The emergence of cell phones in Nigeria, a communication enhancing technological device that came with the millennium encroachment of the global village has entirely changed the attitudes of the people in Nigeria. The shift from the conventional two-way verbal communication with Nigeria Telecommunication telephone facilities to the recent mobile communication with cell phones has clearly exemplified the effect of new technologies on the social, economic and general living pattern of humans across the world including Nigerians. Within the passage of some years, people are more inclined towards mobile technology. Users can talk with one another, record some spectacular moments of life, listen to music, install games, applications, videos, etc., transfer data and files to other compatible devices, send/receive SMS and visit World Wide Web. This study therefore sought to investigate the influence of cell phone on information sharing among university students of Nigeria, using National Open University as case study.
