13. Conclusion

• The Internet is very important in students’ life and it makes up a
considerable percentage in their schedule.
• However, a lot of students use the Internet for studies and work even
in free time
• Social media, unlike the Internet in general, is not often used for selfdevelopment or studies.
• Despite taking plenty of time, the Internet does not interfere in the
social life of students – they continue to go out, travel and etc.
