Abstract
The Internet has brought different lifestyle to our society and has been known to
make changes to the way people live and communicate. It enables people to
acquire information and to solve their daily problems. If we can understand why .
users are attracted to the Internet, how do·they perceive the use of the Internet and
what sort of things they are doing on the Internet, that will help us to further our
research in different areas, from advertising to education to psychology. At the
same time, many parties have been aware of the negative impacts of the Internet
use, especially, the excessive use of the Internet.
Young people are vulnerable to developing dependence on the Internet than any
other segments of society. This may happen because college students have strong
needs to develop firm sense of identity and to develop meaningful and intimate
relationships. The Internet is a convenient and accessible platform for them to
communicate and interact with the world. Thus, how they use and perceive the
Internet may have a big impact on how they use the Internet in the future.
This case study would like to analyze the perception of SEGi College students in
Penang toward Internet use.
