A blog about websites that are to blame for high schoolers and college students who end up on academic probation because they are so entertaining and addicting.

research project due tomorrow ? time for wiki !
Wikipedia has to be the most addicting site after Facebook. Almost everyday, I fall under Wiki's powerful spell. I will be wanting info on something like an actor's bio, and then end up somewhere totally irrelevant to my original search. This is because throughout the article I found that was relevant to what I wanted, there are highlighted words that have become hyperlinked and its just so tempting to click. So I will start off with Paula Dean and end up at how 85% of Americans are obese and overweight. Ironically, you have to find back-up for what you've read on the site because there is a good chance someone submitted false info. Besides that, Wikipedia's got my top vote for most distracting site.
