“People who don’t have an e-mail account, don’t need to check their e-mail account”. A couple of years ago, this was a wise saying but recently, there are numerous social media networks who ask our attention 24/7.
“My name is Juliette and I am addicted to social media. Hi Juliette”. Can you imagine? Some kind of anonymous social media addicts, just like regular AA meetings.
It might sound silly but recent studies show us that there are people who are really addicted to social media! A study among 1000 Internet users shows us that almost 50% of the people check their Twitter and Facebook before they go to bed. Moreover, 42% of the people check their social networks immediately after they woke up and half of them is still in their bed when they do that! It is also striking that 40 per cent don’t mind to be disturbed by social media during other businesses, like during meal or, even more shocking, during lovemaking! That is the end of romance!
Are you addicted too? Please check the symptoms and the video below:
· You answer your phone with your Twitter nickname
· Your family and friends had to read on twitter that you are pregnant/ homeless/engaged/divorced
· Instead of saying “goodbye” you say “send me a DM”
· You don’t know your neighbours , but you know everything about your good “friends” in Canada, South Africa and India
