ABSTRACT
This paper describes the effects of computer addiction to the academic performance of the third and fourth year students of Saint Paul College Foundation, INC. Due to the fast advancement of technology nowadays, third year and fourth year students were getting involved with the use of computer. With this trend, many students were developing too much dependency towards the computer (Kovach, 2001).
Being too much dependent in computer is called computer addiction. Computer addiction has affected the study habits of the third and fourth year students. The computer programs that were invented were the reason why students were easily hooked with the computer.32
