I observed people in the Kehr Union Computer Lab for a half hour. There was not much conversing going on since alot of people were getting school work done. However, I did notice that alot of people were not on the computer to get work done. They were on facebook or other websites looking up things that interested them. One girl was looking up tickets to some sort of concert or show, another girl was looking up clothing, and some people were playing games on facebook. There were some people playing pool- they were being a little loud and not very considerate of the people who were trying to get their work done. Do people get annoyed when others around them are talking to someone else? Why do people come into the computer lab and have a conversation about something when they know that everyone around them is listening to what they have to say? Do students just come to the computer lab to waste time and go on facebook? And if so, how come they do not get up when other students need a computer to do work. I have noticed that when people come to the computer lab, they can not go on the computer without signing onto facebook, why is that so? Are people really that addicted to facebook that they can not just go on a computer without signing on facebook? The life of college students consist of spending a lot of time procrastinating on facebook when they could be getting work done. Everyone says they never get work done, but they are on facebook. Could that be why? Sitting in the computer lab I concluded that college students come in to print stuff out, maybe check there email and facebook and then leave. Not many people sit in there and do alot of work since there are people around talking about different things that have happened during their day.
