Escaping Facebook Just Became That Much Harder
It’s amazing how much our generation is addicted to Facebook–so much so that we are driving up the rate of internet usage in cell phones. A new study by CCS Insight has found that a third of 16-36 year olds access Facebook through their cell phones on a regular basis. It’s more popular than MySpace, Bebo, and Twitter combined. And the number of users is only going up; by the end of the year it’s predicted that almost 45% of youth will be accessing the net from their cells.
So not only is the stalker in all of us exponentially increased by having Facebook available at all times in our back pocket, but our addiction is lining the pockets of cell phone companies as well–accessing internet each month costs an average of $30 more than just a phone plan.
