Recently a professor named Reynol Junco from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania performed a little research to see if there is a correlation between facebook usage and low grade point averages. His survey sample was 1,839 which consisted of college students and their actual grades. What he found is that on average students spend about 103 minutes on facebook each day, and for each 93 minutes spent above the average the students gpa would drop by .12. Junco, informs us that even though this drop in gpa is a significant amount it is not serious when you take into consideration all of the possible factors of the real world. An extra 93 minutes is almost double the amount of time of the average user.
So don't worry kids, you can still use facebook and be smart : )
