The survey, although answers its purpose, conveys only a very superficial and biased result as the scope of the people taking the survey is very narrow and they are all coming from the same location. This would result in a same pattern throughout the result, blocking the chance of having diverse responses from different perception of other people. In this survey, it can be interpreted that the majority of the CS students in Binus International university have the tendency to be technologically dependent. This statement is based on some facts, for instance, 80% of the students are finding it hard when they do not have internet access around them. On the other cases, such as the number of on line games played, number of hours spent in front of the computer and the number of hours spent going through Facebook, it can also be concluded that almost all of the students kill their times mostly by going through Facebook, surfing the web or playing on line games. As we can see, 100% of the people taking the survey have ever played on line games, 40% of them spend about 5-10 hours in front of the computer and another 40% of them even gives more than 10 hours of their days in front of the computer. Surely, this survey pinpoints a fact that the students in Binus International University are technologically driven, especially by the internet, thus creating high dependency towards the computer and other sorts of related technology.
