“College students start going ‘crazy’ after just a few minutes in a room without their phones or a computer,” Konnikova wrote.
This phenomenon occurs all over campus, with students sitting around tables in the Dewick-MacPhie Dining Center aimlessly scrolling through Twitter and perusing Facebook during lectures instead of taking notes.
“One would think we could spend the time mentally entertaining ourselves ... but we can’t. We’ve forgotten how,” Wilson said.
According to sophomore Eyob Sharew, some Tufts students focus on social media more than others.
“Everyone has a smartphone, so people use it heavily, definitely more in some circles than others,” Sharew said. “Some circles will do the thing where everybody is on their phones at dinner, and they’re not talking to each other. We’re just of that generation.”
Student groups at Tufts, however, see Facebook and other social media outlets as an important way of promoting student groups and events. Junior Dan Jubelirer is an active Facebook user but does not spend the majority of his time perusing other people’s pages. He said that he sees Facebook as a resource, as opposed to a replacement, for social life.
