Twitter and Facebook may be more addictive than alcohol or cigarettes
Has Western culture grown too attached to their social networks? It’s possible, according to a recent study led by Wilhelm Hofmann at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
While the nuts and bolts of the study were far from a compelling, comprehensive bit of scientific research (205 adults were put into a heavily-weighted situation and were told to describe their “conflicts” via text) it is apparent just looking at how we go about our lives on a daily basis that many of us are indeed addicted.
This video by SourceFed gives us the details of the study.
Twitter and Facebook make my daugter forget to eat.
yes, I agree
True that, my girlfriend is also lately very reluctant on this matter 🙂
 On the bright side, Facebook is not that addictive in my opinion. On the bad side, I have decided to keep smoking instead of checking my ‘Wall’.
On second thought, I quit smoking too.Â
 That is a good choice, anyway, You can still keep your facebook, just don’t spend too much time.
