Abstract
This study identified beliefs and attitudes about the Internet in relation to different populations of higher education students. A pair of surveys were used to better understand positive and negative attitudes students harbor concerning the WWW and related Internet technologies. The response s were used to both validate what are the most salient positive and negative aspects of the Internet and to reveal differences in attitude toward these aspects based on demographic variables . The results are discussed with respect to the affective dimensions that shape the use oflnternet-related technologies and the need for further research into the impact of the Internet on higher education.
