Impact of Facebook on the Students

Abstract

Since the inception of Facebook in the year 2004, its use has been increasing drastically. Face book is one of the social networking sites that has rapidly changed the way humans interact. It has won the attraction of all the age groups whether adults, youngsters or the teenagers. It is used immensely by the students for social interactions and network building. Facebook has penetrated the lives of the students and have a deep impact on the way they express themselves. Though it can have positive impact on the students, the negative impact has overshadowed the goodness of Facebook. For my study entitled ‘’Impact of Facebook on the Students’’ I have collected both the primary and secondary data. The primary data is collected by administering the questionnaire to 200 college students in the Visakhapatnam city consisting of the intermediate, degree and post graduate students. The questionnaire is divided into three sections (Demographics, impact on behaviour and studies). The primary objective of this study is to analyse if the impact of Facebook on students is positive or negative. This objective is met by analysing other secondary objectives. The secondary objectives are to find the impact of the Facebook on the behaviour and the studies of the students.
