SOCIAL MEDIA AND EDUCATIONAL STANDARD

The Social Media and the Education sector have now become two great enemies. An old saying says “all work and no play make jack a dull boy”.

Most students dwell on this saying and they neglect their studies, there is not even a scheduled time for the social media activities. Hence, I will also say that “all play no work make jack a stupid boy”

According to the research conducted by, Len Hart, Purcell, Smith and Zickuhr in 2010, indicates that 47% of American adults use social network. A national survey in 2009 found that 37% of online teenagers use social media site which increased to 55% three years later. According to the survey in 2009, it is worthy of note that the rate at which teenagers, especially students access the social media without caution is alarming. From 2009 to 2010 there is 16% increase in the use of the social media by students. Consequent upon that what time do those students have to focus on their studies, when most of their time is spent on Social Media activities?

There is already a divided attention between Education and Social Media because most students now spend their time on social media activities which reduce the concentration and dedication they have for their education, they forget their first assignment.
