Quote :: STUDENTS who use social networking sites like Facebook while doing their homework get much lower grades, says a new study.

And it makes no difference if the site is on in the background - exam results were 20 per cent lower than for non-users.

Study author Prof Paul Kirschner said the research countered the trendy view that children can multi-task and education systems should keep up with the times.

"The problem is that most people have Facebook or other social networking sites, their emails and maybe instant messaging constantly running in the background while they are carrying out other tasks," he said.

interesting dont you think ????
