Here comes another strike in the onslaught against Facebook: Facebook users share lower GPAs . According to a pilot study at Ohio State University, college students frequenting Facebook had nearly a full grade point lower than non-users.
This conclusion surprises neither the study authors nor anyone who has spent hours online chatting, web-surfing, playing video games, or on Facebook and its predecessors (Friendster, MySpace, ICQ and AOL chatrooms). I recall the seething building up in juniors and seniors queued at university computer labs as they noticed the computer screens of underclassmen on instant messenger, while the upperclassmen waited to check stock prices and project group emails. Just as Facebook is awash laptops and smart phones on university campuses today, AOL Instant Messenger, AOL chatrooms, and ICQ were all the time-sucking rage a few years ago.
While the effects of social isolation and Internet addiction have been chronicled across the world for years, a broader study using more than 219 students is in order to cement the inverse relationship between Facebook use and grades. There is more than just one technology variable when students have lower grades: television, video games, youtubing, and chatting.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbour were just setting up to do some research about this. I am very grateful to see such great information being shared freely out there.
Hey, perfect website..I haven't figured out find out how to add your web-site in my rss reader :\ where's to link towards the RSS?
I put in a plug for this blog at mine. So, I think many people forget the point you are making.
Hi, i heard your blog in the 10 am radioshow on Live 247 Radio Las Vegas, they realized a show all-around wordpress for blogging and web 2.0. Shortly after that show i'll hit the trail to your posting about Facebook or Study, but you cannot do both - random animal. High quality posting mate! I hits the point - Its beneficial to check out just at least one post writer from a lot i look over who is aware of what he's posting about! Stay on your way.
