Academic Study on the Effects of Students' Internet and Related Interests on Behaviors

It is believed that the quick development of the technology known as Web 2.0 is solely responsible for the rise in the number of people using online social networking (OSN) sites. Online social networks (OSNs) like Facebook have millions of members who join up for the site and use it practically every day to communicate with one another ( Brailovskaia et al. 2020). People are now able to present themselves to other people, interact with their own social networks, and keep connections with other individuals all thanks to online social networks (OSNs). The use of online communities makes the realization of this goal possible ( Brailovskaia et al. 2020). As a direct consequence of this, the use of OSNs has continuously drawn the interest of younger people, particularly that of students ( Kokkinos and Saripanidis 2017; Paul et al. 2012). Because of the proliferation of online social networks (OSN) and the rise in the total number of social networks, several educational institutions, such as universities, have begun to make use of these platforms to sell their educational programs and engage in conversation with students (students of different ages). Both considerations were important contributors to the growth of OSNs (Paul et al., 2012). According to Lambi (2016), the widespread usage of online social networks (OSNs) has had a substantial influence on educational institutions and has encouraged students to actively engage in the learning process. This is one of the conclusions that can be drawn from Lambi's research. According to Lambi, this is one of the reasons why OSNs have been so popular over the last few years. Other reasons include the following: The children of the 21st century take a distinct approach to learning in comparison to the children of past generations. This may be attributed to the fact that children of this age are more involved with technology than children of earlier generations. This is because older children take a more active role in their schooling than younger children do (Moghavvemi et al. 2017a, b). Students in this present day and age have access to a broad number of alternatives, both in terms of the modes in which they may work and the locations in which they can do it, allowing them a great deal of freedom. These possibilities include Students are given the opportunity to work together and get new knowledge from their peers via the use of open-source networks ( OSNs ). According to Lim and Richardson (2016), one of the primary advantages of using OSNs as an educational tool is that they encourage greater interaction among peers, which, in turn, increases the amount of knowledge that is shared. This is one of the primary benefits of using OSNs as an educational tool. When it comes to education, one of the most significant benefits of using OSNs as a tool is this
