What If There Was No Facebook?

Well first off, if there was no Facebook, hundreds of hours of my life would go to something more productive. Most students including myself would get there homework done a lot sooner. I believe that Facebook is one of the biggest reasons why students procrastinate. I spend countless hours wasting my time when I could be getting so much homework done. I usually tell myself that I am just going to get on for five minutes and then two hours later I am still looking at some random persons pictures. I have to admit that it does come in use when I need help or have a question about homework. I can just get on Facebook and message someone in my class and usually they will get back to you very soon because they are checking there Facebook constantly like everyone else. Facebook can suddenly make an insanely boring lecture class fun. I know this seems bad to say, but everyone has to admit that they have gotten on Facebook during a boring class! One time I sat in the back of a lecture class because I came in a little late and I could see everyone's laptop. It was so interesting to see more than half the class "stalking" on Facebook. Although Facebook is amazing and it helps friends connect, it is such a huge distraction! Whoever knew something could become so popular and addicting. I love Facebook but without it, students would definitely have better grades and a lot more free time!

    It is quite the distraction, but honestly, I feel that if we didn't have Facebook, we'd find some other form of procrastination. Most students would avoid the things they don't want to do (homework, studying, etc.). So, Facebook or no, we'd still waste hours doing something pointless.

    Yeah facebook is very distracting! I'm not as bad as some people, but I do spend a little too much time on facebook. I understand it can help people keep in contact with old friends from highschool, and just new people you are trying to get know. Yet, I bet a ton of people out there are just taking those silly quizes on facebook or playing the farm game on facebook. Those are specific things on facebook that really distract people. My roomate is getting awful grades this semester, yet she spends every waking hour that she can on facebook. Facebook might seem like fun, but people need to know when enough fun is enough.
