quickly including companies, libraries, governors, employees, and families.

- Amongst those, Sir Isaac's theory in formation of Internet " If I could

see far away than others, it is because of I stand on giant's shoulders.

III Finding Result

Through spending half of month doing this research with observation,

interview with people living in Phnom Penh, who have different positions and

occupations, our group has found that :

- 40% of them have a clear understanding about definition of the word

“Internet”. Beside that, they just know how to use it from others without understand

the word “Internet”.

- About 40% of Internet users have known that there are many activities

through Internet such as phone, chat, voice chat, MIRC, E-mail, E-learning, Internet

shopping and how to make our own website. About 20% knew that Internet is used only

for sending E-mail and other 20% do not know anything about Internet service.

Amongst those people, about 20% realized that there are 7 Internet service providers

are running in Cambodia such as Camnel, Telesurf camnel, openshall room, Bigpon,

Casacom and Camshin.

- Internet is used with many purposes most of them use Internet for searching

other studies. Small amount of them use it for testing via E-learning and their

entertainment (chat). Referring to data shown that about 60% of users believe Internet

is very important ad give a lot of advantages in communicating between all people

around the world. Other benefits are providing knowledge to learners and workers‟

need.

- Mostly, Internet is popular among teenagers which affects on them such as

stress, impact on eyes and their enthusiasm with pornography on website, which is a

factor has influenced on their behavior. It leads them to act in immoral activities

opposite to Khmer culture; especially they copy from foreign culture in dressing

other countries around the world. Other 20% have no idea.

telecommunication systems such as fax, telephone and telegram. It costs less money and

time to communicate. The fee is only 1500 - 2000 riels per hour. Other 20% have no idea

which one is better. It depends on circumstances.

- There are some difficulties in this new technology development. For

example, w can‟t change English font so it is impossible to send E-mail in Khmer

language. Other hand, there is a lack of password protection system when we forget to

sign out. In the future, people suggest that our information on website need to be true

and also want to have website in Khmer language in order to search information easily

for students.

- To extend high speed and cheap network and ensure that every house have

Internet accessibility.

- To create more E-tourism in order to promote Khmer culture to outside

world including photo E-mail that can be able to send message via video design without

writing and these massages is recorded and having picture of sender as well. Especially,

teaching via Internet should not pay by credit card.

the use of Internet is increasing gradually. Other hand, the users‟ understanding is still

low. They are interested only in what they can get benefit from. Even though, Internet is

now modern Technology which provides us a lot o advantages, it also has disadvantage

if we use it without making any consideration and it leads problems to ourselves and the

whole society.
