3. Social Media Addiction

Social media addiction is the latest by-product and a subdivision of Internet addiction. It is the most common tech addictions of now.

Researchers from the University of Chicago surveyed 250 participants, fitting them with devices that logged nearly 8,000 reports on their everyday desires. According to the study, checking social networking sites for updates is a much harder habit to break than alcohol or tobacco.

In Norway, researchers came up with a new test to help you figure out whether you suffer from a social media addiction. Called as Bergen Facebook addiction scale, the test is based on six metrics, for example, using Facebook to forget about problems or trying to cut down on Facebook use without success.
