“Websites like Facebook have great appeal to students due to their addictive flexibility. Users can spend a mere five minutes to check if they have any new friend requests, or spend hours working on their farm in Zynga’s game “FarmVille”. Students have also found ways to install games like Activision Blizzard’s “Warcraft III” and play the mod “Defense of the Ancients;” a game that is very taxing on a server’s bandwidth; slowing the internet speed on every computer in the library.
