the University of Southern Mississippi has put a bann on the personal profile websites, facebook and myspace. What prompted the decision was a cartoon drawn in the student news paper depicting a common scene in their computer labs. Students stood in line for computer time because all the computers were taken by students visiting the websites facebook and myspace.
This is an excellent step in breaking the addicting usage of these ridiculous websites that consume some students lives and ruin others reputaions. even though many schools have rules that give students with study needs the first rights to computer usage, students still get caught up in these websites and the studying students get put aside.
I can see many school computer labs doing the same thing as these computer labs. It is kind of a shame to see how many people in our UNCW library are on facebook or myspace when they are supposed to be working on studies.
