Our Lives Without Social Media
Social media networks like Facebook and Twitter have taken over almost the entire world over the last decade. People regularly check their social media accounts multiple times every day, and with smartphones now commonplace it has never been easier to log in and do a post or check what your friends and others you follow are up to.
The more that social media is being used, the more people are starting to question whether it actually has any benefits to our lives or if it is like a drug that you know isn’t doing you any good, but you are so addicted you can’t go even a few hours without your “fix”.
