I'm a kid :) (Score 1)

Well i'm 17, and to be honest. 80% of all my friends who use computers daily for either games, linux, etc, get distracted really quickly from our work. I think what it comes down to is the individual. If he's the type of person who really wants to get straight A's in school, he's not gonna waste his time beating half-life2, he's gonna do his paper for tomorrow. Just on a personal note, when I sit down to do homework next to my computer, well.....i'm not going to be doing homework anytime soon. And, it's because, as stated before, why would an immature kid do homework when he can bust out the music and read up on some slashdot!
