dc.description.abstract Internet is a vast system of computers that are networked or linked together to exchange information. It is a network of networks which shares global resource that is not owned or regulated by anyone. Internet is not only about computers, it‘s about people, communication and sharing information. Historically there are different methods of information sharing yet internet and computers make us realize how the world is narrowed down to a village. With the arrival of the internet, world communication took a giant leap which leads to a way of overcoming physical boundaries like distance to allow minds to meet by having conversations with peoples across the world. The world today depends and thrives on information. Information not being global is of little use and internet gives us the ability to access varies kinds of information around the globe at any given time. At the same time, the social networks such as facebook, twitter and etc. change the behavior of youths sometimes in negative ways in certain situations. This questions the ethics of a person. Ethics is a principle which tells what is right and wrong. Everybody knows it‘s wrong to lie, cheat, steal and etc. However, some people do not know that disadvantages of using social networks leads into behavior disorder. Nowadays most of the youths are addicted to social networks like facebook, twitter, and etc. and we could also see the rate of cybercrime increasing. This creates more practical problems in the society. My view of this research is to give youths‘ erroneous usage of internet and facebook usage. The outcome of this analysis is that most of the youths are using internet and facebook for unfavorable information. The research is based on analytical, evaluation and distributive methods. The suggestion has been presided. en_US
