Summary
This conceptual piece attempts to evaluate the rising disruptions of students’ social networks due to the digital explosion and massification of education. Digitalised education has made impacts in terms of universalising and internationalising education, but there are corresponding disruptions in students’ social network system. It is perhaps safe to state that students’ social network is about to be exterminated. Thus, this effort is a holistic view of students’ network activities that can enhance interactivity, bonding, and attachment to promote multicultural and intercultural competencies. Education is only holistic when it stimulates the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains proportionately. Pathetically, technologisation and digitalisation threaten the existence of holistic education and make it a remnant of the past if scholarship discourse fails to address the challenge now. Hence, this endeavour recommends the inclusion of activities that can constantly bring digital students together from time to time to create room for interaction and socialisation.
