"The Internet has evolved and entered our everyday lives at dizzying speed”, "with high-speed access, new services, and graphics-rich interfaces” the Internet is a part of everything we do. All of us know that many American or European students don’t use exercise books, paper books or other hard-copy forms; they manage only with the help of computer and feel good.
Our group is more a representative of such a model of study process, but, unfortunately not all the professors like to work in such a way. So, the first problem concerning the matter is unwillingness of teachers to raise the level of their computer skills, they are just afraid of introducing something new into the process of education "what for? My students manage without it and have good marks”.
At school, we were accustomed to using the Internet only when we needed to download an essay, usually in ready-made form, but why didn’t anyone show us the beauty of Antarctica with Google Street View, or chemical experiments with You Tube, why didn’t we communicate with foreign students with the help of Skype?
I conducted a small research. There were 11 participants, 20-21 years old. They live in Ryazan, study in the university but not in our group. I asked them a number of questions and they agreed (red) or disagreed (blue). Here are the questions:

 

When I asked the participants what they use the Internet for, the majority answered that for the purpose of study they use it only when they need to write an essay or a research work, but it is not an every-day practice.
To sum it up, I want to say that new technologies are helpful in the process of study, but it is not a widely-used practice yet. So, we can study with no technologies at all and it is very sad.
