Why Do We Use Social Media The Way We Do?

Professor Gabriel Egan of De Montfort University explains, "The point about social media is its addictiveness. The fact is, nobody wants to spend hours and hours every day updating their status and seeing what other people think about them. Nobody consciously wants to do that, but these behaviors are themselves addictive."

It is quite difficult to escape this web once you are caught in it. We must seize control of these devices and put them to their rightful purposes.
