CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

In this era of technology Internet is playing an important role in our daily activities including
the academic activities, so it is the high time we assessed the impact of Internet in our daily
life and academic life. We must ensure its positive use as much as possible. In this context,
this study reveals a fact that the habitual use of Internet which is named Internet addiction,
i.e. use of internet more than four hours affects negatively on the performance of the students.
Beside this they are facing health problem. So it is time to make awareness among the
students and this will help us to be benefited by using Internet.

Recommendations

 It has been found through this study that students, who use Internet, use it mostly for
non-academic purposes. It should be ensured that the Internet facilities made are
accessed to enhance academic performance.
 There should be enough supports within the academic institutions in order to allow all
students to have regular access to Internet facilities but need to encourage the students
to use the facilities of Internet for academic purpose.
 Educational institutions need to take an active initiative to introduce the students to
Internet by highlighting ways through which it can be of great help in enhancing their
academic performance. This would make the use of Internet much more relevant to
academic tasks.
 Students need to be very conscious to ensure that they should not too much involve of
using Internet for recreation purpose. Because Internet addiction could be the cause of
low performance as well as physiological imbalance.
