CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING INTRODUCTION Throughout the world, Marketer and Consumer Buying Behavior (CBB) are changing the face of education. t has been argued that the, if a marketer can identify CBB, he or she will be in better position to target products and services at them. Just as computers are about to replace books ( some would argue this has already happened) as our main source of information globally, computers will come to occupy the central position in education once occupied by books. The nternet was initially developed by the US Defense Department and was at one time only popular within the research community. ts ability to share information across organizations and to interact with people at low cost has gradually enticed other sectors to explore its use. Today, the nternet has an impact on every facet of our life including business operation, education, communication, entertainment, social activity, shopping, and so on. Many universities around the world are expanding their investment in information technology (T), and specifically the nternet, and are actively promoting nternet use. From a student's perspective, learning using online tools is multidimensional. t may entail a multitude of variables such as prior student knowledge of T, experience in its usage, perceptions of T usage, computer competencies, and background demographics. The nternet is one of the greatest recent advancement in the world of information technology and has become a useful instrument that has fostered the process of making the world a global village. The nternet provides several opportunities for the academia. t is a mechanism for information dissemination and a medium for collaborative interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic limitation of space. The word nternet is derived from two words "international and "network. The nternet therefore can be defined as an international computer network of information available to the public through modem links so internet is a worldwide system of linked computers networks. The nternet is the world's largest and most widely used network. t is an international network of networks that is a collection of hundreds of thousands of private and public networks all over the world. There are rich and varied learning experiences available on the nternet that would have been inconceivable just a short while ago. The nternet has a range of capabilities that organizations are using to exchange information internally or to communicate externally with other organizations. The primary infrastructure for e- commerce, e-banking, e-business, e-learning and virtual library is provided by the nternet technology. The nternet provides several opportunities for all academia, business organizations, the employed and the unemployed, the young and the old. The nternet is a 'live' constantly 'moving', theoretically borderless, potentially infinite space for the production and circulation of information. The nternet might thus be described as a 'sea of information', containing texts which are not housed between library and bookshop walls and subject areas span across all fields of knowledge. The nternet can be used for other things besides e-mail. One can listen to international radio station on research and education on the nternet, global, read books and other materials on the nternet. The list of things that can be done on the nternet is a very long one. The nternet contains more information than the world's largest libraries with access to the nternet one can retrieve information from the world's largest information database.
