work, even think. There are being many positives associated with SNSs usages,
such as establishing and maintaining relationships, yet there were also many
negatives effects for some individuals. The quantitative and qualitative approach

users. Each participant filled out a questionnaire consisting of the Young’s
Internet Addiction Test (IAT), along with general questions relating to internet
usage (duration and SNSs). The results of this research suggest that younger
respondents more recently acquaintance. There were 52.29% of respondents used
the internet for more than 6 hours. The average IAT score was 52 points for males
and 48.7 points for females. IAT score will be decreased along with growing age
(p-value= 0.005). Internet addiction was increasing along with the longer duration
of internet usage (p-value= 0.006). The most used SNSs are Instagram, Line,
WhatsApp, YouTube, and sometimes added Facebook or Game. These findings
suggest that there is an association between internet usage (SNSs) and addiction in
Digital Native. Findings also highlight that younger users have more problems
