It seems like social media is taking over our lives.

According to a new survey by Chinet, American adults spend 23 hours a week talking to people via social media.

We also average 275 online connections, despite the fact only 11% of those connections were people we’ve seen face-to-face in the last three months.

When it comes to the best way to connect to the near and dear ones in our lives, 60% say they do it vial social media.

Despite our dedication to all the wondrous things the Internet offers, over 60% of people want to slash how much they rely on social media by actually talking to people through the ancient art of talking in person.
