Quote, paraphrase, and citation #1

Quote: "Because so many people in their teens and early 20s are in this constant whir of socializing--accessible to each other every minute of the day via cell phone, instant messaging and social-networking Web sites--there are a host of new questions that need to be addressed in schools, in the workplace and at home. Chief among them: How much work can 'hyper-socializing" students or employees really accomplish if they are holding multiple conversations with friends via text-messaging, or are obsessively checking Facebook?"

Paraphrase: The million dollar question now is, are teen and young adults being affected by via text messaging and social networking? Students and people in the business are always posting and sharing their personal lives on to these networks where a large amount of people are allowed to access your profile to see. It has came to the conclusion that, kids at school and home have not been able to achieve all their work, and may be risking their education and chances to acquire their full potential to bu successful. Are kids and young adults infatuation for Facebook, Twitter, and their cell phones becoming a conflict in society?
