Indeed, the keypads of smartphones and such are often 
firing off the sparks of young love, or at least like, said the study by
 the Pew Research Center.US teens use such media to ‘like’, comment on, ‘friend’ or joke around with someone they have a crush on, the study said.Back in the day, they’d flutter their eyelashes or share a nervous, giggly chat.That is hardly over. But American teens are now also 
turning to online networks as tools for flirting, researchers reported 
Thursday.The old-fashioned stuff of wooing still prevails but now 
“technology is a major vehicle for flirting and expressing interest in a
 potential partner,” said the study.The survey of those between the ages of 13 and 17 said 
only 35 percent had been in a romantic relationship, but 55 percent had 
flirted or talked to someone in person to let them know they are 
interested.Pew found 31 percent of teens had sent flirtatious 
messages, 10 percent had sent photos as part of flirting and seven 
percent had made a video for potential partner.“Digital platforms are powerful tools for teens for 
flirting, wooing, connecting with and even showing off a romantic 
partner,” said Pew researcher Amanda Lenhart, lead author on the report.But there is a down side: those same media can be conduits for jealousy, meddling and troubling behavior, it added.Thirty-five percent of all teen girls said they had 
blocked or unfriended someone who was flirting in a way that made them 
uncomfortable.Among boys, 16 percent took this step, the study said.Pew also found 11 percent of teens who had dated had accessed a mobile or online account of a current or former partner.And 10 percent modified or deleted their partner’s or ex-partner’s social media profile.Other findings:eight percent had sent embarrassing pictures of a current or former partner to someone else four percent placed a tracking program on a partner’s device without their knowledge.And 15 percent of teen daters report that a current or former partner 
spread rumors about them using digital platforms.The report was based on
 a survey of 1,060 teens ages 13 to
 17 and a parent or guardian from September 25 to October 9, 2014 and 
February 10 to March 16, 2015.The margin of error was estimated at 3.7 
percentage points.“Beyond perpetrating potentially inappropriate or harmful 
behavior, teen daters also can be the recipients of possibly more 
serious controlling or potentially abusive experiences at the hands of
 significant others,” the study authors said.Also, more than one in five with relationship experience 
said partners used online media to call them names or say mean things, 
mostly after a relationship ended.</div>

The BSNL's move came in the light of Narendra Modi government's Digital India initiatives.

Speaking on the occasion, Prasad said BSNL works efficiently in natural calamities and it has proved this in Jammu and Kashmir floods, Nepal earthquake and Andhra Pradesh cyclones.

"When BSNL can deliver its services well in natural calamities, then it should be able to provide better services during normal conditions," he said.State-run telecom service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) on Monday decided to upgrade landline broadband speed to minimum 2Mbps at no additional cost for broadband customers on pan-India basis from October 1. Union Minister for Communication and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad launched the facility in Gurgaon. Directing the BSNL authorities to evolve a system of complaint redressal, the union minister also asked them to do marketing. "I want your interface with people more frequently."

The country is passing through a changing phase, he said, adding that BSNL has to play a significant role in it.

He recalled that he was minister for communications in Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government as well and when that government left in 2004, BSNL was in profit of Rs. 10,000 crores.

Prasad said once again he has been given the same responsibility and during analysis of records, it was found that BSNL was running in loss of Rs. 8,000 crores. "At that very moment I said that BSNL has to improve and I will support."

He said that BSNL is also offering 1GB free email box to their customers from 50MB mail box.

The minister said the speed upgradation will benefit all the existing and new Broadband customers of BSNL.

Under this scheme, BSNL is upgrading the speed of existing Broadband plans of 512Kbps and 1Mbps to 2Mbps speed with no extra charge.

"The speed upgradation will benefit all the existing and new broadband customers of BSNL. Under this scheme, BSNL is upgrading the speed of existing Broadband plans of 512Kbps and 1Mbps to 2Mbps speed," the BSNL said in a statement.

BSNL launched the broadband services over its landline in India in 2005, with speed of 256kbps and above over the state-of-art multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) -based IP infrastructure in urban as well as rural areas.

"This upgradation shall enhance customer experience while surfing on Internet and enjoying live video streaming by all customers even in the low price range. This scheme is expected to attract new customers for subscribing BSNL Broadband customers in an affordable manner," the statement added.

Also present on the occasion was union Minister of State for Planning (Independent Charge) and Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjeet Singh, who said the nationwide facility would give boost to the IT industry.

CMD of BSNL Anupam Srivastava and CGM of Haryana Circle Ambala R.C. Arya were also present on the occasion.<br />
