There are more than 500 million users on Facebook. Twitter users are sending 55 million tweets per day. YouTube has over 100 million visitors per month. 22% of time spent online is attributed to social media. It may seem crazy, but the numbers don’t lie: Social Media has not only revolutionized the way we communicate, but it has played a crucial role in dictating the way we live our lives. We’ve all been there: logging on to Facebook for “10 minutes” only to look up from our computer 3 hours later wondering what we missed in the world around us. The way I see it, we have two choices: we can either fight the obsession or we can embrace it. If you had the opportunity to make your time spent on social networking sites more valuable, would you take it?
