Identifying impacts of social networks usage on student population

Information society has brought a number of new technologies and modern communication channels. Social networks have become something that is present in everyday lives of most students but also of many members of somewhat older population, especially after smartphones have become highly popular technology. When talking about students, a question that is emerging is whether usage of social networks has some impact on students in the sense of motivating or enabling them to increase their social or academic competencies and how much time they really spend on social networks. This paper presents a survey of the attitudes and usefulness of social networks for students. Data for the research has been collected from representative stratified sample where stratification was performed according to students’ year of study. The data was analyzed by usage of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Results of conducted research are presented and discussed in this paper.
