Era of Modern TechnologyIntroductionEver since the era of modern technology began, most people started to rely on its uses. A variety of modern gadgets and appliances were introduced to satisfy the specific needs of people. One of the most popular and useful modern technology today is the computer. Used by almost everyone, the computer is one of the most powerful innovations in human history (Mcguigan, 2003). Connected with the use of computers is the presence of the internet. Also known as the World Wide Web, the internet can provide almost everything a person needs to know. The internet gives a shot at a different world, breaks the barriers, helps a lot in updating and makes many things possible (Gamis, 2004). Using the internet, students nowadays mostly depend on the knowledge it provides. Facts, solutions and information about almost anything are now within reach for school purposes. The internet provides several opportunities for academia. However, with access to internet, most people do not go searching for lectures on Math and Physics. Rather, porno, games, movies, music videos, chat and other diversions are much more eagerly sought (Parker, 2010).
There were studies that have been done that assessed the preference of people with regard to internet. However, there were no studies conducted yet with regard to the preference of accountancy students, who are believed to be academically positive students particularly in De La Salle University – Dasmariñas.
ObjectivesThis paper presented the preference of third year Accountancy students in De La Salle University – Dasmariñas, 1st Semester, S.Y. 2011-2012 with regard to internet sites. The researcher included the amount of time the students use the internet and the reasons on why they use it. Moreover, this study also would assess the demand of the respondents concerning computer and internet usage. Specifically, this paper sought to answer the following questions:
What is the most visited site of Accountancy students in DLSU-D?What is the reason behind such preference?Importance of the StudyAny other study would not have been conducted with no purpose at all. The purpose in a study is the one that guides the whole research through its accomplishment. Throughout the study, the researcher aims to seek knowledge of the opinions of Accountancy students with regard to their preference in internet sites. The youth are the first to use the internet (Kabayan, 2000) and so researching through the top sites visited by them would contribute a lot in determining its effect. This study was conducted to determine what would be the preference of 3rd Year Accountancy Students of De La Salle University – Dasmariñas with regard to internet
A report was compiled of the survey results. It is also a recommendation of the study which shows that online search rankings (including Google) are an important part of the decision making process. If you are interested in studying and/or are actively seeking a job at this site, your work is crucial if you are interested in this university.
This study was started by DLSU-D staff members and other participants to make it possible for their staff members to have a fair understanding and a realistic assessment of people’s internet sites. At no time did these participants ask themselves, does the online search rankings give a good result? This study gives two reasons: (1) To provide some data and (2) To help facilitate good relationships and the research was of benefit to all members of the community. The first reason is related to how well the online search rankings, which are based mainly on the search keyword, can predict the most-watched sites. This results also in different results which can be used when examining a study: 1. Online search rankings help to understand a person’s overall internet search ranking and help them to help others learn more about themselves (Kabayan, 2000). 2. On the other hand, online search rankings can help to understand the quality vs quantity of information users can give about the internet. They might also influence their search ranking to help them be creative in a way by providing a more interesting reading on various web sites. The question you can ask yourselves is, what relevance will online search rank to our online research? A student looking for some information and/or research is a student. The answer to this question would be, “What am I looking at?” If some interesting information is only found by those looking and not others in the system, then the online search rankings will not improve their ability to work with the community. And in particular, if information that is being obtained is already available for that student but they are not in a university study, they may not be interested in looking further. The more information that is accessible to them in a university study, the more people may be drawn to the university study because there are students attending the university that are not interested in this particular study. As per the report, for online research to be efficient in the research of any particular interest it must be able to reach the largest audience. As such, this study was carried out in the USA with all members of the student body. The study also did not aim at providing the most important and practical answers to the questions you may ask. As a general basis for this project was the fact that the website of the university, ez.gov, helps to give students the highest quality information on their studies.
