Facebook, Good or Bad.......

Facebook users have lower overall grades than non-users, according to a survey of college students who also ironically said the social networking site does not interfere with studying.

That disconnect between perception and reality does not necessarily mean that Facebook leads to less studying and worse grades -- the grades association could be caused by something else. However, it does raise more questions about how students spend their time outside class on activities such as Facebook, part-time jobs and extracurricular activities.

"I'm just saying that there's some kind of relationship there, and there's many third variables that need to be studied," said Aryn Karpinski, an education researcher at Ohio State University.

I love my Facebook too.

Maybe the uniting cause is personalities. Lazy asses who don't work for their grades thrive on the web and sites like FB. Diligent students do something else like sport excercises or meet their friends IRL ;-).

Except I've a Facebook and the average of my upper secondary school certificate was 8.33. The highest achievable grade is 10 and the lowest 4. Not that bad, I see ;-).

I agree with Regal, if you want you can spend hours on it and if you want you can avoid it for months like I did.

That reminds me to visit the site to see what has happened in my absence :D

I love my Facebook and my MSN. The reason being is that I am born and raised Canadian from British Columbia, now living in Michigan, U.S.A and I can keep in touch with all my School Friends, Parents, Grandparents and rest of my family and friends on both of those tools.

I love that it is secure and only those I choose can see my account.
