Introduction
On 3
August 2015, I myself prepared a questionnaire and posted it to my blog. The
questionnaire was spread to adulteries, students, and children, requesting for
their assistance in completing the form. The purpose of this questionnaire was
to know how Indonesian people use the internet.
Overview
Although
I have spread the questionnaire to all representative respondents, the only
respondents I got are students with the age of 16 to 20 year old. However, it
provides quite interesting result. Naturally, responses in this questionnaire are
anonymous.
Result
The
first data I got is who filled the questionnaire, they are 24 students, with
the age between 16 to 20 year old, consists both male and female. Most of them
often use the internet 3 to 4 hours in a day. They access the internet by using
their own internet connection. Most of them also; around 62% of them; spend
Rp50.000,- to Rp100.000,- in a month for the internet.
According
to the data, Google Chrome is the most favorite browser. 79% (19 respondents)
said that they use Google Chrome. However, there are still a few respondents
who use Mozilla Firefox. Well, in my opinion, Indonesian students are not
familiar with ask.com, yahoo.co.id and msn.com. They still use Google as their
search engine.
Most
of the respondents use the internet to access social medias and only to
browsing. Although Facebook is an old social media, but it is still the most
outstanding social media. It can be proven by the number of respondents using
Facebook, 66% (16 respondents) say that they still use Facebook. In addition,
some respondents use Twitter, Path and Blog. There are also some repondents who
do not use any social media.
It interesting
to see the respondents’ opinions about the internet. 20 respondents say that
internet serve the easier way to get information. They also agree with the
government’s plicy to block porn sites. In their opinion, internet eases their
social lives contact. In the open questions of cyber crime, most of them say
that cyber crime, including piracy is a criminal thing. Then the open question
whether internet gives positive or negative effects, they say that the positive
and negative depend on how we use it.
Conclusion
It can
be clearly seen that internet is an important thing, proven by the number of
respondents who use social media. Most of them buy their own internet
connection with the range of Rp50.000,- to Rp100.000,- for each month. Indonesian people has had good
habit in using the internet. It can be proven by the number who reject
pornography and piracy.
