The internet penetration on young villagers gives rise to question about its effects on the social interaction and behavior patterns as it accelerates the interaction with the wider network. However, the internet could possibly decrease both the social interaction with local people at the village and the dependency toward native villagers as internet utilization allows the users to be more selective in terms of interactions according to their interests. This research aims to examine the impacts of the Internet through a dystopian view by comparing the degrees of senses of place, participation in local activities, and social capital among internet and non-internet users using a statistical approach. The analysis of variance and linear regression were employed in the present study. The results revealed that the internet did strengthen both broad and local social capital. It also supported young villager's participation in local activities. Nevertheless, the internet was observed to decline the villager's sense of place, especially the desire to remain a resident in the native village. Better access to information and network gained by the users elevated their chances to move outside the village when better opportunities were observed elsewhere.Sustainability 2020, 12, 115 2 of 26 face-to-face and traditional communication by which deep relationship could be considerably formed. This action strengthened social capital (SC) within local community [5] and reinforced one's attachment and dependency on the local community and living place. Later, the involvement of a resident on the internet afterwards allows him to be more selective in accordingly interacting with his interests [6]. It can accelerate, and shorten the time of, one's interaction with the network beyond space [7]. But, in the dystopian view, it possibly decreases the intensity of interaction with local people as a person needs time and effort as well to manage the other acquaintances [6].Besides transformed social interaction, the immediate impact felt by internet users is the easy access to information. Abundant information can support young villagers in making decisions in daily matters [8][9][10]. The internet, with its various derivative applications, also modifies rural youth's ways to do activities such as shopping, playing games, reading, and watching videos by simply going online. Things brought about by the internet in some cases are the answers to the needs of villagers (e.g. Stern et al. [11]). For instance, the information on job vacancies or skill training can easily reach rural youths' gadgets. However, sources of prospective self-improvement carriers are generally outside the native village.The new style of rural social life, however, could bring both negative and positive impacts. The internet inevitably improves people's networks, understanding of the outside world, lifestyle, and other personal aspects [7]. Since the rural areas mostly have limited facilities to meet a higher lifestyle, there would be a tendency in the people to feel mor...

“…Their behavior today provides a window into online social networking behavior of tomorrow (McCreary, 2008;Subrahmanyam et al, 2008). At the same time, this history may have a proportionally larger effect on their career prospects than for older individuals (Gray & Christiansen, 2010). Older adults also use online social networks, but college-aged students are building their online history at a time in their lives when their online behavior may reflect a more experimental and less guarded lifestyle than would an older adult's (Gray & Christiansen, 2010;McAfee, 2010;Clark & Roberts, 2010;Livingstone, 2008).…”

Also, college students entering the job market lack work experience and extensive employer references, so their online history may play a proportionally larger role in an employer's evaluation.…”

Previous research has shown that many college students in the United States post content to social networking sites that they know would be considered inappropriate by employers and other authority figures. However, the phenomenon has not been extensively studied in cross-cultural context. To address this knowledge gap, a survey of college students in Australia, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the United States was conducted. The study found a universal tendency among the four groups: students knew the content they were posting would be considered inappropriate by employers and other authority figures, but they chose to post it anyway. The article also reports on differences in the way this tendency was manifested and on related aspects of social networking across cultures, including decisions about privacy and information disclosure.
