Dr. Sherry Turkle, Psychology Professor, at MIT says, “For a teenager, it doesn’t make sense to think of MY LIFE and then I get distracted by SOCIAL MEDIA. We’re not going to be taking away the internet. It’s more a question of living with these devices that so compel us, in a way that serves our human purposes.”

So in order to put Facebook in its proper place, Neeka took action. She asked her sister to change her Facebook password on Monday morning, and keep it hidden from her until Friday night.

Neeka said, “The first week was hard. My friends didn’t know how I could do it, but my studying habits improved.”

Monica and Halley decided to limit their use to one Saturday per month.

“If one of us cheated, and looked at Facebook, we’d be forced to write something embarrassing on somebody else’s Facebook page.”

I miiiiight be able to live without my Facebook password for a week.. maybe not Twitter though. This sounds pretty rough.
