But I can totally see this trend increasing and not just with Facebook but through other social networking avenues.

It is the way by which some people live. Its uses are varied and include dating, advertising, communication with friends and family, as well as a way to pass the time. In many instances, the consistent, incessant use has become an addiction. Personally, I haven't engaged in the pasttime much, but I do see how it opens a door to many avenues where people facilitate their thoughts and ideas without being in the person's face. An addiction generally occurs when someone decides to make an action a precedent over other things that are needed in order to live. I know many people who can't get through their day without checking their Facebook account and posting something. So, Facebook addiction is very real and some people can and have allowed it to take over their lives. Therefore, increased attention needs to be paid to this widely known activity.
