Through this investigation, the study underscores the profound significance of Literature across various dimensions of human existence. Furthermore, the article delves into the significance of advancements in mobile technology and its associated peripherals in education. However, it also emphasizes that despite the strides we have made in technological progress, it is essential to acknowledge the limits of our knowledge. The study serves as a reminder that possessing advanced technology does not equate to complete understanding. In addition to the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the article underscores the necessity of mastering effective search strategies. The ability to swiftly and accurately pinpoint the required information remains a crucial skill in this information-rich age. In essence, the study demonstrates the synergy between technological progress and information literacy, illustrating that being adept with technology is only part of the equation—knowing how to navigate and extract meaningful insights from vast information sources is equally vital.
