Texting + facebook = textbook. So I’m studying?

Oh, that is really cool anant!! A textbook huh???LOL It depends on individual. If you think that it can educate and you can gain knowledge through it then facebook is good for you. Just like mylot. Many found that this site is useful just like facebook or more than facebook. Anyway both are just the same and it depends on how we used it. It connects people, we get to know other from all over the world, their cultures, countries and everything. We learn the same thing on both sites. Do the main question, do you really learn from it? Yes, you are~(^^) Psst...don't get addicted to both. It is better to have it in moderation.(^^)

On one hand I whole heartedly agree. On the other, I don't! But it's not a big discrepency at all. I do like the idea, and thought it was funny though! I do agree that I have met people from all over the world on facebook, but I have learned a lot more about cultures and those sorts of things here on mylot! Mylot+facebook+texting = textbooklot! I like it a lot too!! lol! Great thoughts!!

first and foremost i was really attracted to the title.. what a cool analogy you've made.. by that title, you have a point.. Many applications have been integrated in websites especially in facebook and in cellphones. it made us sociable and easy to communicate with friends and classmates especially if there are homeworks and projects. It gives us a wide range of ideas that classrooms do not offer.. however, there are also cases that we look for books to find answers to the questions where internet and cellphones cannot give.. this are love triangle that we have to face with the rest of our lives..

Very nice topic title, :). Ok, you do have a point but we cannot say that it can replace books and classrooms. Instead, they should supplement the traditional methods of learning, besides who said learning should be confined in the four corners of a classroom. Life is a learning process, that's why in order to survive you cannot restrict yourself with knowledge or wisdom found on conventional materials but instead explore various aspects of life where in you have the chance to learn something new.

Haha, funny, but I disagree. Nothing can replace the real books and the correct information you need for a good eduction. You cant tell your employer I studied a lot and I am educated, I did a lot of texting and I know everything on facebook... Think twice... You dont have to stop things you love to do. But you also have to fulfill the things you NEED to do... STUDY first.

yes! i absolutely agree with you now a days so many people enjoy the the facebook as well as its games offer there. its quite iteresting also that you can meet many people from around the world and once you know them and discover some of them you shared the some like and interest to.

haha i think this would really freak my mom out if i would tell this to her.. of course she knows i would be kidding, anyway.. im glad my parents aren't so into the internet world and computers... they haven't got the slightest idea.. but good for them we are all working so she would not find any of us not studing because of the internet addictions such as this.

you sound like my daughter. she says she is studying while she is on msn. lol! but facebook sure can be educating! lol

I do like to use facebook and I also like to use texting, they can both be very addicting. I don't text as much as I used to though, and actually only text maybe once or twice a day if even that. I prefer to use facebook instead. I don't really talk on the phone much either, prefer to talk to the person in person instead.

Haha I do agree with your point. Facebook sure allows people from all over the world to connect and socialize in one place. We chat with them, learn about them, learn about their culture, and we are exposed to parts of the world that may be unknown to us. We may not be physically there, yet we know much about their culture and living. So yea, Facebook serves as an "education" for learning more about the world. However, I feel that too much of Facebook is an addiction. Just like how having too much of anything is bad, too much of Facebook can be an addiction. Facebook is a place to socialize and interact with people and isnt really(in my opinion) playing games and stuff.
