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

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.
