Review Of Related Literature

The internet is a global linking of devices that allow information transfer. The internet

was established in the early 1960’s by the U.S department of defence (Schneider,

Evans and Pinard, 2006) for military purposes. It is a fact that the internet is one of the

greatest advancement in the world of information technology as it has become a useful

instrument that has fostered the process of making the world a global village. The

Internet provides an environment in which millions of people participate and engage in

the creation and exchange of information. https://www.ukessays.com/essays/computer-

According to Jafari M, Dayani M. (2010) acessing to the information resources and

scientific findings, knowledge sharing, scientific relationships between scholars, online

learning, accessing to the virtual libraries and so on using the internet increase the

importance of the internet network more than expected. Nowadays, the internet is one

of the main parts of students daily lives for satisfying the academic, social, and

recreational needs.

In a related study, Aseni (2005) assessed information searching habits of Internet

users at Medical Sciences University of Isfahan, Iran. The findings showed that the

respondents were obtaining quality information through the Internet and all the

respondents were using the Internet.

Recently, Oyedun (2007) conducted a study on the Internet use in the Library of

Federal University of Technology, Minna, and observed that most of the respondents

claimed that through the Internet services in the library, they have improved

considerably in their academic performance.

The use of the internet is one of the major factors affecting the academic

performance and social life of university students. The number of hours spent on

internet will affect the grades of students depending on if the internet is used for study

purpose or social purposes. Many studies have been conducted regarding the type of

information the end-users seek and obtain on the Internet and in which circumstances

they prefer electronic sources to paper sources(Tenopir et al.2003).Also , students can

gain from others’ knowledge and experiences, participate in chatrooms, share ideas and

solutions.

In a research article, Ying-Fang Chen and Samuel S. Peng (2005-2006 academic year

juniors).A study done on a variety of randomly selected University students in Taiwan

showed that heavy Internet users and non-heavy Internet users differed significantly on

a number of dimensions. Non-heavy users had better relationships with administrative

staff, academic grades and learning satisfaction than heavy Internet users. Tuckman

(1975) defined academic performance as the apparent demonstration of understanding

concepts, skills, ideas and knowledge and proposed that grades clearly depict the

performance of students. Heavy users were more likely than non-heavy Internet users

to be depressed, physically ill, lonely, and introverted.

Table 1 shows the of Internet to the Grade 11-Strix students.

Based on the study, Internet can be used to communicate, gather information and

access and other online sites. In addtition to this, Internet as affirmed by Awoleye,

Siyanbola and Oladapo (2008) is used for information development, enhances easy

communication, improves academic performance, used as a researched tool, provides

solution to assignments, gives information on entertainment & education, and a source

of scholarship. (Rose & Fernlund, 1997) Also states that It allows for the exchange of
information and for interaction among individuals in real time, making transport and

distance no longer a problem.

According to Griffiths and Szabo (2014) the internet addiction (IA) fails to take into

account the focus of the object of addiction (e.g, gambling, video gaming, social

networking, sex, work, shopping, etc.) In addition it has been argued since the late

1990s that most of the people who spend excessive amounts of the time on the Internet

are not addicted to the medium itself, but use the Internet to fuel other and specific

addictions i.e, most people have addictions on the internet rather than to it (Griffiths,

1999, Griffiths, 2000)
