ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. (May 10) -- Jackie Bailey sat down at her desk and turned on her laptop. Once it finished booting, Bailey opened her Internet connection and did what she always does. She checked her Facebook account.
“I probably check my Facebook every time I turn on my computer,” Bailey said. “It’s just a habit.”
Bailey and other St. Bonaventure University students agreed that Facebook, a social networking website, distracts students from schoolwork and studying. Some students said they even decided to forgo Facebook for several weeks during the spring semester.
