Background: The Internet began in the 1950s with the invention of electronic computers. The use of the internet has rapidly increased in our daily lives, and it is having a direct impact on people's thoughts and behaviours. With the advancement of the Internet, both male and female users have become inextricably reliant on it as a means of exchanging ideas, forming communication networks, and seeking for information. The current study is an attempt to measure the gender difference in internet usage due to differences in opinion among researchers addressing internet usage among gender.
Materials and Methods: At a tertiary care centre, a cross sectional study was conducted on 120 first-year MBBS students. A questionnaire was used to gather information.
Results: In comparison to earlier studies, the current study found gender disparities in awareness and pattern of internet use among first-year medical students.
Conclusion: The Internet has become inextricably linked to today's educational system. Individual academics are becoming increasingly reliant on the Internet for educational objectives. Because both women have had more exposure to technology through their educational experiences, there is no gender gap in internet usage.Author(S) Details
