Authors : K.C. MuthyalaiahChetty & Avineni Kishore
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of social media and electronic media on reading habits of engineering students at Sri Kalahastiswara Institute of Technology (SKIT) Srikalahasti. The required data was collected from 150 students using a questionnaire. The result shows thatthe social media has resulted in distraction in reading habits because of reduction in time spent for reading. Since technology is the main order of the day, the study therefore concluded that social networking could be used wisely, not only for keeping in touch with friends, but could be used wisely as source for vital information that would be of great benefit to the students and the society of large.
