THE PROBLEM AND THE SCOPE

Background of the Study:

This study shows that the use of the Internet for study purposes and academic achievement

is directly proportional to each other while inversely proportional to student social life.

The Internet is the decisive technology of the Information Age, as the electrical engine was the

vector of technological transformation of the Industrial Age. This research to examine the

possible impact of using the internet on students’ academic, personal and social life. The

internet is one of the greatest recent advancements in the world of information technology and

has become a useful instrument that has advanced the process of making the world a global

village. This is a global fact that the use of the internet has a major impact on the students’

academic achievement and social life (Asdaque, Khan, & Rizvi, 2010). Despite the positive

impact of the internet on academic performance, research findings have shown that excessive

internet usage negatively affects one’s physical health, family life and academic performance

(Akhter, 2013). Along with the stunning increase of the internet and its use, there has been a

growing concern worldwide regarding the risk connected with internet over-use (Buchholz,

2009). Students have only lately received the chance to use the internet to seek and obtain

scholarity material and consequently, knowledge on how successfully they make use this
channel is limited. Students’ information-seeking ends as they work on their these (Tenopir et

al., 2003). According to Asdaque, Khan, & Rizvi (2010) the use of the internet is one of the

major factors affecting the academic performance and social life of students. The numbers

of hours spent on the internet will affect the grades of students depending on if the internet it

used for study purpose or social motive. A study has shown that the university student on

average spends 30 minutes to 2 hours on Facebook and etc (Knibbe & Luchies,2013). Also,

students can obtain from others’ knowledge and experiences, participate in chat rooms, share

ideas and solutions. Studies have shown that an increase in virtual interaction lessens the

account of face-to-face interaction between people and this turn may breed social isolation

and depression (Mythily, Qiu, & Winslow, 2008).
