According to a new study out last week, people who spend an excessive amount of time here tend to make riskier decisions in their lives.

 

Social media

 

The study found that people who spend a larger amount of time on social media make riskier decisions about their own lives. Heavy social media users exhibited the same decision making skills as people who addicted to illegal substances. Researchers say the social media users exhibited behavior similar to the addicts, such as thinking about social media all of the time and not getting as much sleep because of their use of social media. Congress is talking about looking into social media addiction this year. Are you addicted to social media? Do you think you make good decisions?
