Abstract
The advent of computers initiated the information revolution, fundamentally transforming individuals’ ways of life. The use of internet brings about unprecedented convenience, efficiency, and abundance of information. For college students, the internet has significantly enriched their lives, opened more learning channels, and increased learning resources, as a result, broadening their horizons, facilitating academic exchanges, and making learning more engaging. On the other hand, the problematic use of internet such as internet dependence among some of them has imposed detrimental effects on their academic achievement as well as their mental and physical health.
