On my way into work this morning, Kim Komando had a radio spot that talked about this study. It basically says that the more one uses Facebook, the lower their grades. Her conclusion seemed to be that, if you are a parent, this report should cause you to want to check what your kids are doing on Facebook, but not necessarily restrict their time there. Hmmm… That does not make sense to me. The more I am around Facebook and Twitter, the more I like my blogs–the ones that I read, and even the one that I write. In some ways, I think Facebook is even more mind-numbing than television. With television, the communication only travels one direction. On Facebook, the ability to be heard provides sufficient feedback to keep people hooked in. And don’t get me started on the narcissism of the whole thing.
