Hello everybody! Today I read a short article by Bernhard Warner, Is Scocial Net Working 
a Waste of Time. In this article Warner states how he thinks social networks are consuming too much of our daily work or learning time. I personally agree with Bernhard Warner because students and the adults in the work force are too connected to social networking. I have some personal examples that I would like to share that helps validate my point as well as Bernhard's. I just graduated this past spring from high school and it seemed that in every class when I looked around some one was using their cell phones or a laptop to get on social networking sites. I always thought it was rude to hear clicking of buttons in the middle of a lecture so I tried to sit as far away as possible from these students. What really had me against the whole networking during school hours and my valuable learning time was when I started to see teachers using their cell phones while in class and teaching. I know that there are rules in almost all school manuals that there is no cell phones to be used during school hours, so why is it okay for teachers and students to use them now when these rules are supposed to be enforced? Also why are students not getting in trouble when using cell phones in class? In reality I know that it is their own fault if they do not pass a course because of their non mental attention in class. But what happens to the students who actually fallow the rules and want to learn when they are paired up with a student that does the opposite. The other student usually has no idea what to do on the project or assignment and one student ends up doing the work all by themselves. So over all, I think that the author is correct on his assumption of how he thinks social networks are consuming too much of our daily work or learning time.
