Interesting Statistic

I was researching for my next post and find some very interesting statistic. 

A website that provide a different aspect of social media/network display some interesting fact about social media:

1. Social networking sites are the top news source for 27.8% of Americans, ranking below newspapers (28.8%) and above radio (18.8%) and print publications (6%).
2. Students who used social networking sites while studying scored 20% lower on tests and students who used social media had an average GPA of 3.06 versus non-users who had an average GPA of 3.82.
3. 35 global heads of state, every US Cabinet agency, 84% of US state governors, every major candidate for US President, and more than 40% of top global religious leaders are on Twitter.
4. 10% of people younger than 25 years old respond to social media and text messages during sex.
5. In July 2012 Americans spent 74.0 billion minutes on social media via a home computer, 40.8 billion minutes via apps, and 5.7 billion minutes via mobile web browsers, a total of 121.1 billion minutes on social networking sites.

I was surprised by the second one since I am that type of student who use networking sites while studying!
