Facebook Users Get Worse Grades


From LiveScience.com (and posted on Yahoo News), "Facebook Users Get Worse Grades in College."

The results were correlational, not causal; however, what are the implications of this study? What are other factors that might influence grades and study time? How can one balance an online social life and the demands of a college education?
