...The Evils of Facebook If Facebook were a country, it would be the third most populated country in the world, right behind China and India. With over 400,000 members, more than 30,000 servers powering the site and over 70 language translations, Facebook has become a popular website among teens and adults alike. But contrary to the popular belief, it isn’t the friendly site some think it to be. The site does have a dreary side that some may find to be appalling. Something anyone will find on Facebook, as well as any social networking site, is predators. One should also be cautious about those weekend posts and pictures from the bar, or a status update about a bad day at work; this being, because employers are able to access this information and could potentially put your job on the line. Facebook also directly affects students. Studies have shown that students who use Facebook while they study tend to have lower grades than those that don’t. While Facebook does have its upside, giving users the ability to keep in touch with old friends and family, we can see that the bad aspects of the site outweigh the good. With this information we can conclude that while Facebook is a hot commodity in today’s culture, it can be also very detrimental to its users. There are close to 5,000,000 predators surfing the internet every day. If a child is on an online community, such as Facebook, there is a 50 percent chance that the person he or she is talking to is a sexual predator with a fake profile...

Spain Social media technologies are becoming a fundamental component of education. This study extends the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to identify factors that influence the perceived advantages and relevance of Facebook as a learning tool. The proposed model is based on previous models of UTAUT. Constructs from previous models were used such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation and habit. Additionally, two new perspectives were added: perceived advantages and perceived relevance of Facebook as a social media platform. It provides some insights into students' behavioural intentions, and such an understanding can help faculty to examine their assumptions about the role of social media technologies in the teaching and learning process. The study participants were students enrolled in a Spanish public university. Data from 956 usable questionnaires were tested against the research model. Our results provide support to the model and reveal a good model fit. In light of these findings, implications for theory and practice are discussed. Introduction Social media technologies...

...Aryn Karpinski, a researcher from Ohio State University says that students who use Facebook are underachieving in exams. Instead of spending time doing the assignments and work, students would rather to sit, face on the screen and checking updates on Facebook. Study shows students who spend more time on Facebook spend less time in studying. User students spend time for five hours studying while students who are non-users studied eleven to fifteen hours per week which has significant that Facebook users have an averaged of low grades rather than those non-users. Karpinski added that there may be other factors that can affects the study habit of students such as personality traits that link Facebook use and lower grades and some students would still find other ways to avoid studying that still get lower grades. Sharon Gaudin from ComputerWorld Company says that college students have always had study distraction from video games to parties and other entertainments.

...had given us a great deal and helped us with our tasks and made everything easy. We know that social media sites like (Google+, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo) had introduced us in many methods that can connect people easier. Social media sites had been a popular means to connect with other people over the Internet. During the 1980's home computers were becoming more common in every household and social media sites were becoming more refined. According to Hendricks, (2013) The Internet relay chats, or IRCs, were first used in 1988 and were popularized into the '90s. The first popular social media site, Six Degrees, was created in 1997. The site enabled its users to upload a profile and make friends with the other users. By 2006, Facebook and Twitter both became available to users throughout the world. These sites still remain as the most popular social network on the Internet. After the success of these social media sites, other sites like Tumbler, Spotify, Foursquare and Pinterest began appearing to fill specific social network niches. Furthermore, Hendricks (2013) emphasized that, "there are a tremendous variety of social networking sites, and many of them can be linked to allow cross posting. This creates an environment where users can reach the maximum number of people without sacrificing the intimacy of person-to-person communication. We can only speculate about what the future of social networking may look in the next decade or even 100 years from now, but it seems clear that...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Education is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. On-the-job training, also known as OJT, is teaching the skills, knowledge, and competencies that are needed to perform a specific job within the workplace and work environment. On-the-job training uses the regular or existing workplace tools, machines, documents, equipment, knowledge and skills necessary for an employee to learn to effectively perform his or her job. It occurs within the normal working environment an employee will experience on the job. It may occur as the employee performs actual work or it may occur elsewhere within the workplace using training rooms, training work stations, or training equipment. On-the-job training is most frequently supplied by another employee who can competently perform the job that he or she is teaching. On-the-job training is occasionally performed by an external provider as in the case of specialized equipment. In another example, a vendor trains a marketing system a group of employees is adapting to their own work procedures. While the goal of OJT is often to teach basic workplace skills, it also instills aspects of the workplace culture and performance expectations in the new employee.
