Background of the Study

The internet is the key information and communication technology that led
to a worldwide revolutionary change in the information. The internet is a
pool of knowledge and any country that fails to provide youth access to the
internet is unseating the country from throne of dignity among other
dignitaries. It is developed to serve as a platform for various activities for all
age groups in society. The internet is a technology that has become an
enormous part of people’s daily lives. Through its ability to act as a support
medium in different functions for which people use it, the internet was
introduced to academic institutions as a tool to enhance student’s academic
experience. internet connectivity has improved tremendously and is
available everywhere such as homes, offices, travels and school. That access
to information can influence the academic performance of students. The use
of credible internet resources is of greater importance for academic study,
especially in high class courses which require an academic review of
literature. Internet use for educational purpose is to be the heart of
adolescent academic achievement. The availability of internet is almost
everywhere, most students have had access to internet on their cellphones.
This helps students to broaden their academic knowledge, research and
assignments by accessing information worldwide and also enhances easy
communication to the academic community. Students spend more time on
social media than they do do using personnel email. Even Though, there is
loss of privacy and safety, social media provides opportunities for connecting
with friends, classmates, and people with shared interest. Today, the main
aim of the student should be education and their future career. However,
many students rely on the accessibility of information on social media. That
means reduced focus on learning and retaining information. The study also
points out the popularity of social networking sites among students. The
social networking sites and social media have revolutionized the world,
bringing us closer than ever before. However, students can exploit this and
use it for a better life, a better tomorrow. It should be used to connect, stay
in touch, share views but not waste time on. The sample size for the study is
100. A questionnaire is designed to determine the various factors of social
media that have impact on student's education. Variables identified are
gender, education, social influence, and academic performance.

networking will continue to be reckon with as part and parcel of everyday
life. Social media is a vast field of communication where barriers are fast
fading while the growing need for access to data is now of great significance.
This will continue to influence activities of adolescents and youths in
particular within this global world. This unfortunately has become
