Volume : III, Issue : XI, December - 2013 Internet Usage Among Post Graduate Students In Coimbatore District T. Enok Joel , S. Thangarajathi And T. Mary Ezhilarasi Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Everyone needs information about everything in day-to-day life. People, right from the organizational
level to the personal level, from the highly educated and experienced person to school children, require information
for taking the right decision for everything in life. Access to information is generally recognized as contributing
significantly to the efficiency of any organization. In an era of networked information, 'internet', the largest
worldwide network of networks, has emerged as the most powerful tool for instant access to information.
Information is now just a 'finger touch' distance away from the user and it would be appropriate to say that the
internet has become the global bibliotheque which provides the fastest access to the right kind of information in
nano-seconds of time to the end-user at any time, and at any place in the world. Jackson, et al. (2011) remarked that
internet plays an active role in education through its easy availability to everyone, everywhere, and at any time,
irrespective of gender, race/ethnicity, income or other socio-demographic characteristics. Today, the internet is
regarded as the central resource for knowledge and information. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : T. Enok Joel , S. Thangarajathi And T. Mary Ezhilarasi, (2013).
