Today, everyone loves social media and is connected in some way – whether through Facebook, Linked In, or another source.  This is socially accepted – and even expected.  What you might not believe, however, is how much people are willing to interrupt their lives for this social media craze.  Check this out:

The latest Retrevo Gadgetology Report on social media usage shows that people are willing to sacrifice just about anything for their social media time.  Half of respondents said that they check Facebook and/or Twitter before they go to bed and right when they wake up.

More than half of respondents said that they have to check Facebook at least once a day.  In terms of checking an instant message – one in three respondents said they’ll check a message they receive during a meal, and one in 14 said that they’d check it during sex!

The authors of the Retrovo Gadgetology Report actually found their own findings disturbing, questioning whether a growing number of social media junkies might be suffering from an addiction.

Indeed.
