things. The addiction of internet can interruption of student’s mental
development at young age (Tas, I. 2019).
Work Ethic
Work ethic is a
negative effects of internet on students that students must know about it.
Children who mature in Internet time which is anticipated to have fast
satisfaction. They may effectively get online and seek for anything they need,
from the favorite entertainment material such as such as music, images, TV
shows, videos, films etc. to troublesome homework answers. It helps them not to
wait and give them very quick outcomes with a possible exploits. These
characters will not interpret to the school, where teachers expect from their
students to work for getting grades. Students are incapable to recognize
difficulties, they fail to control their time competently (Kay, A., &
Levine, L. 2019).
Cyber Crimes
Trustful
internet users can easily become a victim of outlaw elements that step in with
emails or do something wrong about personal information. Criminals invite the
users on website and promised them a trust but with the help of phishing they
theft the personal data of users and start blackmailing, due to this misleading
many unpracticed users lost their money (Taylor, R. W., Fritsch, E. J., Lieder
Bach, J., Saylor, M. R., & Tafoya, W. L. 2019).
Physical Development
As we know, a
full education will doubtlessly upgrade both our body and intellect. Consuming
hours on accessing the internet, engage with social sites, and spending times
on playing online games can extremely destroy the physical development of child
(Marsh, J. 2019).
Cyber Bully
It is a bad
effect of internet on students. This term is also known as getting bullied on
internet and it is easier than physical bully. Students easily caught addicted
to it. Many social sites make the cyber bullying very easily. Most bullied on
internet are students their ratio is 59%. This will lead in an increase in
suicidal attempts by learners. They are intimidated and facing their
embarrassment, but they are still unable to share with anyone such severe
knowledge (Musharraf, S., Bauman, S., Anis-ul-Haq, M., & Malik, J. A. 2019).
Privacy Disrupted
There are a lot
of things uploaded or exchanged over social networks but students don’t realize
their action or harmful effects due to their innocence they easily exchange
their information through social sites such as Facebook, messenger, instant
messaging, Skype etc. . Which will interfere to their privacy. Many people will
try to get your personal and private data to use it in a manner which is
harmful for students or individuals.
Lazy
There are so
many students who spent their precious time on internet. Instead of learning
and finding appropriate educational material, they play online games, scrolling
Facebook, listen music, or access harmful and inappropriate websites without
caring to study. By using internet all the day many students dropout from
schools and from them lots of disqualified due to internet addiction. Students
will be lazier due to addict by internet (Crowder, M., Antoniadou, M., &
Stewart, J. 2019).
Bad
There are 4.4
million individuals who visit black websites. The students are uncountable who
visits these bad websites. Spending large time on black websites effects on
their mind. These websites have bad impact on physical and psychological
condition. It is the big reason which is affecting unhealthy life style and
moral corruption of youngsters. Research from university of Florida stated that
if students use internet over 3 hours daily it effects on their language,
characters, mental health, physical development and social relations. Moral
corruption is a bad impact of internet on children which released on many local
black websites. Due to easy to access the 5 year old kid can approach the
material such as 18+ content/information. It is very beneficial for students
and children’s to avoid or block such kind of black websites (Ruscher, C.,
Werber, D., Thoulass, J., Zimmermann, R., Eckardt, M., Winter, C., &
Sagebiel, D. 2019).
Hesitant Toward Face To Face Communication
Students can
make every day lot of new and unknown friends by social networking sites on
internet. You can talk and share happiness and sadness with others by just
sitting alone at home through internet. Due to this addiction you lost your old
and gold relationships and lost the opportunity to meet real life relations to
get fun and enjoyment with them together. Sharing the feelings with online
friends are not effective because they just see the sentence “ I’m very sad”
but they don’t see your emotions and don’t
understand the feelings. The people who become habitual to exchange
feelings through social sites they don’t like chatting face by face, they are
unable to exchange their feeling, and emotions with physical appeared persons,
these people just feel comfortable to communicate on computer, they feel shy in
face to face communication with any person. That’s why virtual feelings hardly
impose the negative effects on student’s character.
Lacking Creativity and Dependence
It is slogan of
most students who are addicted with internet that “with internet, I had the
whole world in my hands!” If students want to find some knowledge or
information about any particular subject, topic, field, organization and place,
they just searching on Google to copy & paste it, without thinking about
any things or gaining ideas with creative manner from books, previous
knowledge, and experts, it is true that internet is fast way of searching and
findings but the ability of your thinking and creation is important than
Googling. Without using their mind they search the information it affects very
badly on our mental activity. Whenever students have given task of presentation
they simply download the prepare presentations from internet such as
slidshare.net websites and they don’t understand and explain the proper theme
of presentation task which given to him for presenting with their own
creativity without plagiarized. Same as I have given a task to prepare a model
on mathematics topic “Number system” I simply just Google it and copy the ideas
from internet to paste it on my projects, without using my minds creativity.
Lacking of creativity effects on students skills. So that’s why students should
use their understandings, ideas, thinking’s, and brainstorming’s in limitless
manner to be creative and dependence
Wastage of Time
It is the
negative effects of internet on students and children. Instated of giving a
time to study, they only sit in front of computer to waste their precious time.
The wasting of all time on internet without study to give the output in exam as
failure. This lead further stress and depression which effects on their health.
Students should need to use internet with useful and reasonable time, they
shouldn’t visits websites which is unimportant for them.
The Effects Of Internet Which Damage Student’s Character Building
It is highly
noticed that social behavior is deviated due to internet at this time, include
that students not to spend time in a specific location or with peers. Students
more enjoy with social media friends because they more focused on virtual
friendship rather than hangs out with physically available friends. So that’s
way internet impact on their social relationships due to rarely meetings and
they lost their best and pure relations for the virtual relationships. They
become lonely due to keep sight on the screen and they never feel happenings
which are practicing around them, they are keeping focus to online abstract
community rather than concrete community.
Education Impacted By Internet
It is informed
in the study that the use of internet in a more functional sense than the male
students. The large number of parents, teachers, and communities are against
the habit of internet in schools around the world. The world of education is
simply changed due to the deep impact of internet on it. Education is conveyed
by the way of revolution. Now students sit in the classroom as they have whole
world in single room. Today, by clicking the one button of mouse student’s
access large amount of information. Students as well as teachers also use it
for new and innovative learning tools. The positive impact of internet on
education is only to enhancing the educational process in many ways
effectively, but it has some negative effects as students kill their own skills
and creativity, they just only dependent on internet, they forgot the habits to
read the books, due to speed of searching in split of seconds they get negative
benefits from it as cheating in exams and tests, they enhance their life style
with the internet but they forgot their traditional, social and cultural
etiquettes. Students use internet from homes, libraries, and cafes for their
academic purpose. It cannot be denied that internet is platform where number of
people are engaged in exchanging of information, but this fact affects deeply
to the achievement of academic and social life. According to use of social
sites affecting on the academic performance and behaviors are more to male students
rather than female students. Male students consume more time on social sites
and these sites decrease their focus to academics than female students. By
using social sites it lead them to poor achievement in academics so, it shows
that using social sites play a very important role rather than academic performance.
It has benefit of online media to education that by combining different media
such as images, animations, texts, video and sound to make a better and
effective teaching and learning process but, stated the negative effect of
online media on students’ academic achievement.
Assess The Problems of the Usage of Internet on Student’s Character Building / What Kind Of Behaviors Are Shown While They Are Using Internet?
The students who spent their more time in virtual world and start living in fantasy world are quickly move away from the real world. And when they have not an access of internet they feel sadness, depression and anxiety (Forsell, E., Isacsson, N., Blom, K., Jernelöv, S., Ben, A. F., Lindefors, N., ... & Kaldo, V. 2019). As we know the schedule are playing important role in the students life with the help of schedules we easily perform our particular tasks but, internet addicted students are unable to keep their schedules in respective manner due to spending their much time in browsing, chatting, and gaming, these activities highly engaged them so that’s why they are unable to follow their schedules. Mostly students are owning smartphones/tablets which they always carry with them even late night at bed time, before going to sleep they check their devices to get updating about happenings around them, these internet addicted students keep browsing for long time without any requirement. Due to these activities they faced such kind of sleep related issues such kind of late night sleep, late waking up sleep, and restless sleep. So, they faced depression, anxiety and sleep deficiency (Bener, A., Yildirim, E., Torun, P., Çatan, F., Bolat, E., Alıç, S., ... & Griffiths, M. D. (2019).All internet addicts knows that they have issues and problems. When the questions asked by family members, friends, and colleagues they try to hide their habits, they speak lie or being dishonest about the time which is passed on internet by them.
