According to a recent study by researchers at Ohio State University, those that are both avid users of the social networking website Facebook as well as a college students are frequently seeing their grades suffer. The study was founded on a survey filled out by over 200 college students which compared their online habits as well as GPAs. The study claims that while those who used Facebook had lower GPAs than those who did not, seventy nine percent of students believed that their online activities did not influence their study habits.

I have to stay the study yields no real surprises. I mean, the more time spent surfing the internet and playing around on Facebook, the less time there is to spend perusing the books. However, the study is a good reminder for students to spend a little less time socializing online and a little more time attending to their studies.
