^You don’t say…

A study conducted by researchers at THE Ohio State University has found that students who habitually check/update their Facebook page, are more likely to do worse on tests than students who do not fiend Facebook like it was crack. In fact, the study concluded that students who use Facebook daily, do worse by about a full letter grade.

The test found that 67% of the Facebookers among the 219 students questioned, had a much lower GPA than those who shied away from friending people and poking their friends.

Not exactly groundbreaking research, but it might be time for people to cut back on their Facebook usage.

Even my mom checks her Facebook at work…
