Hi Erik
Thanks for this great post. It really puts my mind at ease!
I will be starting my Master’s degree soon in a related area – Human Aspects of Information Technology – and I have been worrying if my blog and twitter could cause me some distractions (the related emails alone). This is quite a relief…
This infographic is amazingly true. My sister who is a college student spends more hours doing twitter and facebook – i though she’s just chatting idly with her friends but I found out they were doing their homework there – they share documents, insights, and info for their lessons which is amazing
