CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The internet provides several opportunities for academic performance and competence among students. It is a mechanism for information dissemination and a medium for collaborative interaction between individual and their computers without regard for geographic limitation of space.
Leiner et al, (2000): Singh, (2002), the word internet is derived from two words; “international” and “network”. The Internet therefore can be defined as an international computer network of information available to the public through modern links.
Bassey, (2003), says the internet is a worldwide system of linked computers networks. The internet is the world’s largest and most widely used network. It is an international network of network that is a collection of hundreds of thousands of private and public network all over the world. There are rich and varied learning internally or to communicate experiences available on the internet that would have been inconceivable just a short while ago.
The internet has a range of capabilities that organizations are using to communicate externally with other organizations. The primary infrastructure, for e-commerce, e-banking, e-business, e-leaning and virtual library is provided by the internet technology. The internet provides several opportunities for all academic, business organizations, the employed and the unemployed, the young and the old. The internet is a ‘live constantly moving’, theoretically borderless, potentially infinite space for the production and circulation of information. The internet might this be described as a sea of information; containing text which are not housed between library or bookshop walls and subject are Spain across all field of knowledge.
