Most days you can find college sophomore Adan Farrah on his laptop checking in with his classmates, looking at photos and updating his personal page on Facebook.
For the 19-year-old and many of his friends, the social networking site is something close to an obsession. “I’m on there a total of three hours a day—four hours on weekends,” said Farrah, a student at Kutztown University in Penn sylvania.
But on Ash Wednesday, Farrah decided to quit Facebook cold turkey. No more status updates. No more commenting on photos posted by classmates.
