Recent studies show that social media is messing up our relationship with our children, overtaking our daily functions, interrupting sleep and even lodging a wedge in our relationships with our significant others.
For example:
Four out of five smartphone users check their phones within the first 15 minutes of waking up and 80% of those say it’s the first thing they do in the morning, one study noted.
63% of Facebook members said they read their newsfeeds constantly, another report noted.
Another recent report found that 64% of parents spend more time with their computers than their kids.
A PEW research study discovered that 63% of smartphone users ages 18-29 sleep with their phones.
One researcher found that a significant number of teens who slept with their phones actually sleep text, hear a text alert and respond mid-sleep with something non-sensical.
The Social Media aspect of our daily online usage may be mainly to blame due to its “addictiveness.”
A new Fix.com Infographic summarizes all the various studies which reveal how social media, specifically, is actually impacting users health. Yikes!
