II. Background of the Study A social network is a theoretical construct used in the social sciences to analyze social relationships and it is inherently relational. When studying social interaction, the approach of social network emphasizes that comprehension should concentrate on the qualities of relations between and within units rather than solely on the qualities of these units themselves. The principles of social network theory can be traced back to writings from ancient Greek times.
In the late 1800s, Emile Durkheim and Ferdinand Tonnies both studied social networks within their theories and research on social groups. Tonnies proposed that social groups can be categorized as personal and direct bonds that connect individuals with common values and beliefs, known as "Gemeinschaft" in German (often translated as "community"), or as impersonal, formal, and instrumental relationships termed "Gesellschaft" in German (often translated as "society")

Durkheim and Georg Simmel both studied social facts and the impact of social phenomena on interacting individuals. Durkheim emphasized the importance of looking beyond individual actors in order to understand social phenomena, whereas Simmel explored network characteristics and how interaction is affected by the size of a network. Additionally, Simmel focused on loosely connected networks instead of groups when examining the probability of interaction.

Objective of the Study
This study aims to investigate the impact of social networking sites on the academic performance and personality development of Computer Science students at Technological Institute of the Philippines Quezon City. Understanding this influence is crucial in determining its significance on students' academic achievement. The research specifically focuses on students enrolled at Technological Institute of the Philippines Quezon City, examining both positive and negative effects on their studies. Moreover, this study solely concentrates on this specific group of students.
It is crucial for Computer Science students at TIP-QC to comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of social networking sites. Nevertheless, this study's drawback is its limited sample size, which consists of only 20 students from TIP-QC's Computer Science Department. Furthermore, Facebook, established in February 2004, functions as both a social networking service and a website owned and operated by Facebook, Inc.
As of February 2012, Facebook had a whopping 845 million active users. Twitter, on the other hand, is a service that combines social networking and microblogging where users can send and read text-based posts known as "tweets". Meanwhile, Tumblr, Inc. is the proud owner of Tumblr - a user-friendly platform that serves as both a microblogging site and social networking website. Users are able to post content to a short-form blog referred to as a "tumblelog."
