On the one hand, because of vast communications and the proliferation of ideas and on the other hand because of dense population, different cultures and civilization, the modern age is called the age of communications.  Information explosion is one of the signs of this age. But the question is whether this information explosion has a positive or negative effect on man’s life. As the young are the main users of Internet and modern technology and cell phones in Iran, the study of the ICT effect on student identity can reveal some aspects of ICT. This study intends to investigate the influence of ICT on students’ identity. The method used in this study is survey.
