Samsung heavy industries are categorized as the second shipbuilder using the same revenue criteria. The company is centred wholly on the consumer electronics section and given its spirited edge the company has managed to gather the utmost market share for itself. The rise of the company has been tantamount with the growth of the alleged “Asian Tigers” (the countries of South East Asia).

In “Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?” written by, the Psychology Doctor, Jean M. Twenge, she presents the results produced after twenty-five years of research (Twenge para3).

The author compares her generation when they were teenagers, with the kids of nowadays who spend most of their time in their phones instead of having social interaction. Twenge also states how this post-millennial generation tends to fall into depression, and homicidal rates have risen due to this technological impact.
