This study presents how nearby computer shops influence the students of Pilar National
Comprehensive High School. Specifically, this study sought answers to the following problems:
1) What are the impacts of nearby computer shops to the students? 2) What are the advantages and
disadvantages of having nearby computer shops? 3)What actions should be taken by the institution
towards having nearby computer shops?
In collecting data, the researchers provide a checklist survey questionnaire answered by
random students. The questionnaire contains the following; how often they use the computer; for
what purpose; and what are the possible effects of nearby computer shops to the students. We
aimed to produce a research paper that contains accurate information that can be beneficial to the
school, teachers, computer owners, students of PNCHS, parents and as well as to the community.
The researcher tends to encourage the students, school, and computer owner to be more responsible
especially in using computer and operating computer shops.
From the data gathered, the following findings were generated: 1) On the influence of
nearby computer shops, we found out that having nearby internet cafés is very helpful and has a
positive impact to the students. 2) Most of the students are using computer at nearby computer
shops for educational purposes.
Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were created: 1) So therefore,
based on the results, we conclude that internet cafés have a very good impact to the students of
PNCHS especially in terms of their educational. 2) We also conclude that nearby computer shops
are very helpful especially for those students who give so much importance to their studies.
In view of the findings and conclusion, the following recommendations are proposed: 1)
We recommend that the Administration and computer shop owners have a connection that the
students should not enter computer shops or use computers during class hours. 2) The school needs
to be more secure in terms of the security. They need to assure that no students should is allowed
to go out during class hours and once they enter the school.
