Well he kinda does drive a good point... did anyone read the "Wired"
- (I think) - Article about the Researcher who stated that, GPA's and
academic activities have gone down due to facebook?

She did not even have a good pool of data to arrive at such a
conclusion - further more if academics are going down hill, surely
productivity in business is also impacted by facebook - I guess we
now know why America Financial and Economic System is crumbling... HAHA
