The entry of new technology, in this case the internet, in people's lives demands adaptation by various groups, including students. With the use of the internet by students, there will be changes in their lifestyle, which in turn can affect their activities at school. This study focused on the intensity of internet use by students at Madrasah Aliyah Al Islamiyah Depok City, which then has a tendency to internet addiction. This study uses interview techniques to the head of Madrasah, teachers, and students. Document studies are also used to view case reports related to internet use recorded by Guidance Counseling (BK) teachers. This study also used a questionnaire distributed online to 340 students of MA Al-Islamiyah Depok City. This study found that 14% of students access the internet for more than 9 hours, 29% of students feel uncomfortable if they are not connected to the internet, and 54% of respondents feel anxious if they run out of internet quota so they will immediately buy the quota. The impact of the intensity of internet use makes students lazy to do other activities, such as playing with peers, and forgetting about their duties and responsibilities, namely learning. In addition, even when studying in class, they still use cell phones for social media and listening to music.
