The rapid development and expansion of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) during the latest decades has greatly impacted all areas of society, becoming one of the most significant socio-cultural phenomena of the contemporary world. The use of new technologies, in their diverse forms, has transformed the way things are done, businesses are developed or education goals achieved. In the educational sphere, the internet use as a learning and research tool has gained significance and popularity among students, becoming a platform for learning, entertainment and social relationships. Although its benefits are highly valued (rapid access to information, networking, collaboration), the technology of the internet along with its various usages and merits is being questioned today because of its negative effects associated with internet overuse: addiction, psychological distress, social isolation etc. This study aims to investigate how the Romanian students are involved in the internet world and what the impact on their academic performances is.
