26. Social Media Is An Addiction

A new form of addiction that is making rounds in the world is social media. According to a new survey it has been found out that an average adult spends more than an hour on social media platforms every day.

This has increased over the years where earlier it used to be just 20 or 30 minutes per day. Social media platforms are proving to be a great addiction for teens and young adults alike.

Research has also shown that constant use of social media platforms for long hours has become a cause of sleep deprivation and is affecting mental and physical health.
