What is an addiction?
A social media addiction is when preserving a moment gets in the way of having a moment.
This obsession with social media is not uncommon.
Many people have said they have seen a tourist miss a good opportunity because they were too busy trying to take a good photo.
Also, some parents even said they have missed an important memory in their child's life because they wanted to capture the perfect post.
So just how addicted are we?
Social media is an array of internet sites that enable people to interact.
Users between the ages of 15-19 spend at least three hours a day on average on social media.
So how does this affect our health?
Some facts:
- Social networking accounts for 28% of all media time spent online.
- 1.23 billion users log into the site for an average of 17 minutes a day.
- 39,757 years of our time is spent collectively on Facebook in a single day.
