Our Social Media Obsession by the Numbers

Mashable cites an independent study that looked into our obsession with social media. Here some really interesting - but not unexpected - results:

    "The study also found that 56% of social media users check Facebook(Facebook) once a day, 32% don’t mind being interrupted by an electronic message while eating and 24% of respondents under the age of the 25 have no problem with digital communication while on the pot.

A few other interesting data points from the study include:

- 12% of respondents check/use Facebook every couple of hours

- 62% of individuals over the age of 25 see electronic communications during a meeting, meal, sex or bathroom act as unwanted interruptions

- 23% of iPhone owners primarily get their morning news from Twitter and Facebook "
