In the age of social media, it has become more often to see people attached to their personal devices and not paying much attention to things going on around them; the Social Media Detox infographic lets viewers know that it may be time to take a break from tweeting about their lunch and take a step back.
The infographic outlines the 10 telltale signs of having a problem, from "tweet-speak," a syndrome in which you only speak in 140 characters or less, to "fake farmer," where you experience a blur between reality and social media games such as Farmville.
One thing is for sure, though: almost everyone who uses any form of social media has experienced the need to have a social media detox.
