everyone．There are plenty of rewarding and important careers that do not require college．And due to the slow economy，there may in fact be more graduates than

the current job market needs．Besides，anti-college sentiment is nothing new· Today，Microsoft’s Bill Gates or Apple’s Steve Jobs—both college

dropouts-is often held up as evidence of why all that time sitting in class is better spent elsewhere． However，getting a college education is still a good idea．College graduates earn more，and are more likely to have a job in the first place．According to the statistics last year，the average weekly earnings for someone with some college but no degree were$712，compared to$1，038 for a college graduate．That is almost$17，000 over the course of a year and there is an even bigger divide for those with less education．Meanwhile，the unemployment rate was 9.2 percent for those with only some college and more than 10 percent for those with just a

middle school degree，but it was 5.4 percent for college graduates．The economic gaps between college completers and those with less education are getting larger· Although most Americans surveyed by Pew feel doubtful about the value of a college degree，an overwhelming majority of parents Pew surveyed still expect their children to go to college．“It call be inferred that the increased doubt has not significantly influenced decision making，’’Pew’s Taylor says．“Despite the concern about rising costs and other problems，college remains a universal desire in this country．”

different approach Until recently, everything you put into Facebook could not be exported anywhere. In effect, you didn’t own your data. Facebook did.

Of course this is rubbish．The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult，if not impossible，for you to leave．

Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook．Google is angry because its users can，and often do，export their Gmail contact information into Facebook．But those people can’t bring Facebook information back into Gmail．

Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to

Facebook．In a shameless move，Facebook broke through Google’s roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google．

Google said it was “disappointed’’ with Facebook’s behavior．It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won’t get it back． Basically，Facebook’s position with major IT companies is this：if you want access to all the information we’ve collected，strike a deal with us．Microsoft and Yahoo have done that，and now，like magic，they can export Facebook contact information into their systems，while Google still can’t．

Remember the early days of the Net，when everything was going to be open and flee? That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned into gold．Now there are billions involved，and nobody is playing nice anymore． 36．Before Facebook appeared，people_______． A．had a limited number of accounts B．enjoyed a completely free service C．had limited access to their contacts D．enjoyed full ownership of their data
