Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of social media on academic performance. A recent study at a UK university followed 200 students over two semesters. The results showed that students who limited their social media use to 30 minutes per day scored, on average, 15% higher on their final exams. Interestingly, the study also found that the most popular platforms among students were not the ones causing the most distraction. Instead, it was the frequent checking of notifications, not the time spent, that led to lower concentration. The researchers suggest that turning off notifications, rather than completely avoiding social media, may be a more practical solution for students.
