    “Americans aged 18-64 who use social networks say they spend an average of 3.2 hours per day doing so, according to new research released by Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange (OTX).” 3.2 hours is more than one may think. Social media does nothing but help people become “social”. Sure, any person can catch up on the latest drama, find out who just announced their pregnant, or wish their great great great grandma happy birthday, but in reality social media is a waste of time to everyone in the world. And the addiction is hard to overcome once a person has started. Almost 1,200 hours on a social networking website is a lot of time someone could be using more wisely yet no one seems to try to change this hair-raising…

    Social networking sites are a huge distraction among many teens and adults trying to focus on other things. It can be so addictive, some claim it is like a drug. Although some people may be able to limit the distraction, research has found that those who use these networks while studying scored 20% less than they would have if focused only on studying. I know first hand that this is true. I can't count how many times I have had to completely log out of Twitter and Facebook while studying because I couldn't stop checking to see what my friends were up to or to see the latest gossip. Social networks are extremely addicting because everybody wants to be in the "know." Nobody likes to feel left out, and if the information is accessible, many people figure that they should constantly utilize it.…

    “I know exactly what I’m going to post as my status when I go on facebook,” was the main thought racing through my head during my media fast. When being asked to observe this fast, I seriously thought that my opinion wouldn’t change about the time I spend on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter. Yes, I did know that I spent a good chunk of my time on these various website, but this media fast truly opened my hazel eyes and taught me precisely how a big of a chunk it was. I always hear my mother state that she isn’t addicted to smoking and smoking “two or three cigarettes a day doesn’t mean I’m a smoker.” Before this project, I thought that going on Facebook just a couple of times a day was not an addiction, but now, I realize it was an addiction, and I am a recovering from Facebooker.…
