The 'Surrendering to Social Media: Is It an Addiction?' infographic gives a quick pop quiz to give you an idea if you're using social media far too much. With almost one billion on Facebook and 100 million on Twitter, the amount of people interacting with social media platforms is huge, and only stands to grow in the near future.
But, is this a problem? A lot of people don't regard their addiction (which they openly admit to) as being a negative influence. Unlike other addictions, social media can help fuel relationships, keep you in contact with your loved ones who you don't get to see everyday and just generally keep you in the loop of world going-ons, seas away from where you are.
