Distractions

We are one way or the other distracted by all the social networking sites ( namely Facebook, Twitter and etc.) . I , for one was supposed to be writing a few articles tonight but somehow I got stuck with Facebook. So, I had to close my Facebook browser so, I won't get tempted to check on the new updates, comments or the like. If I am facing all these distractions now doing my online work, I wonder how the students are coping with all these.

Thank God that the internet wasn't that popular during our time (when we were still in school) but I know that if it was, time used for studying could have been cut short to give time for the internet or social networking sites. I'm sure a lot of students now are experiencing this dilemma too - more time spent in the internet and social networking sites than time studying and doing their homework or thesis for that matter. So, the laptop and wifi for the students may either be helpful for them ( for easy research and stuff) or a distraction. For those who are writing their thesis, they get quick access for information through the net but maybe some of these students also get a custom writing service to help them with their thesis writing or customized paper.

Anyways, in all things, I guess there must be a some kind of control or else it become an addiction. I think I'm talking to myself here.. LOL!
