Abstract The advancement of technology is progressing very rapidly during latest decade, especially in the digital and internet field. With the rise of internet, the new world order has emerged and it has a completely different pattern and characteristic from our traditional society. The fast development of internet technology has changed the way we communicate to each other, educate and entertain ourselves and also behave as a person in our society. On the other hand, today the Corona Virus Disease Pandemic (COVID-19) was ongoing and spreading throughout the globe. The viral pandemic has been spreading from a province to other areas in China and to other countries, including Indonesia. Our government until now is still working very hard in order to curb the disease from spreading further every day. Currently the government has enacted the “ Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar ” (PSBB) which means limiting social interaction of our people at massive scale. One of the policies of this PSBB is physical distancing. The meaning of physical distancing is working, studying and praying at home. This enables our school and university students to study from home by utilizing internet technology. The application of internet in the long term will have either positive or negative impact on our younger generation. Keywords: Internet, teenager , addiction, distance learning, COVID 19, pandemi
