Pace University professor Cathy Dwyer, Ph.D., says that even if students weren't on Facebook, they'd find something else to spend their time on. And, she says, Facebook certainly has a positive side, especially in this economy. "Facebook offers students a way to reconnect with their professors and classmates if they get laid off," she says. "It can help with the job search."
