Paper Abstract:
|
Some people naively think that heavy users of the Internet are not active in the real world. Some people believe that internet services are strong tools to enhance real world activities. As a case study, we have surveyed our studentsÂ’ usage of internet services and real world activities. As a result, we found that moderate internet users tend to be more active in the real world than light and heavy users. |
