Is there a connection between the amount of time students spend on a popular social networking Web site and their schoolwork? A new study suggests there might be.
Researchers at Ohio State University found that students who use the Web site Facebook spend less time studying and have a lower grade point average than students who don't use Facebook.
Facebook users in the survey had GPAs between 3.0 and 3.5, while non-users were between 3.5 and 4.0.
Also, Facebook fanatics spend between one and five hours-per-week studying. But kids who are not on Facebook spend anywhere from 11 to 15 hours hitting the books.
