ABSTRACT:
The goal of the study was to see if there was any gender difference in Internet usage among Kabul University students. Respondents (400) were chosen from the student population across faculties using a stratified random sampling procedure. The study employed a descriptive survey research approach. The participants were given a 14-item questionnaire to fill out in order to collect data. The SPSS program was used to examine the data. The majority of the participants (329) had Internet connection, according to the study. The Internet was found to be gender-neutral in terms of accessibility. On news, sport, and social media sites, gender disparities in Internet usage habits were statistically significant.
