The purpose of this assignment is about what the factors that
determines the UEL students on the internet surfing habits.
Nowadays, the internet is a global system of the interrelated
computer networks. On the other hand, the internet is now a
means by which the digital divide between the developed and
developing countries are gradually closing up (Ofodu Graceful
Onovughe, 2012). Research has established the fact that the most

These have a lot of the limitations when doing this research. When
distributing the questionnaire to students, some of them are
reluctant to answer the questionnaire or leave some question in the
questionnaire. Besides, some students are giving the answers that
are not related to the question. This will make me difficult to
analysis the information on the data. On the other hand, doing the
data analysis from the Microsoft Excel on pie chart must be avoiding
more than six segments. This is because according to the Morris,
2003 stated that for numerical and some categorical data you will
need to group data prior to drawing the pie chart, as it is difficult to
interpret pie charts with more than six segments.

5.1 Conclusion
In the nutshell according to the data information obtained from this
research, different people have a different habits on internet surfing.
Furthermore, the most of the UEL students use the internet because
of watching TV, entertainment, communication and education
purposes. This is because they consider internet are save cost,
entertainment, inexhaustible education information and easy to
communicate with the others. But, use the internet got many trap, it
must be careful on the security issues about the personal
information because have a lot of scamming.
