The big question is ARE YOU A FACEBOOK ADDICT? Its been said that over 350 MILLION suffer from facebook addiction disorder. Personally the first thing I do every morning is check my facebook account, you my may ask why? honestly I couldn’t give you a definite answer. Is it because I’m afraid I have missed out in some huge gossip whilst iv been asleep?..maybe. Is it because I might have some new friends that might have added me..maybe or is just out of pure habit? Its most likely a combination of all of these. I still wouldn’t consider myself an addict though, or am I? could I go a month without facebook?
According to socialmediatoday.com the average American spent more than 14 minutes a day on Facebook. That may not sound like much, but over the course of a month it adds up to more than seven hours. It also reveals that one in nine people check their facebook more than 20 times a day, a truly amazing stat. Similar to how fast food became habit forming (as addictive as heroine some reports note), social media sites like Facebook appear to have grown into something that we crave just as much if not more.
The addition of the smart has added to the obsession with facebook and has lead to more people being addicted. Apple have stated that facebook is the most downloaded app for the iPhone. Everywhere people go now facebook goes with them. Here is a great video on facebook addiction.
