An addition to Addiction List

Everyone is "facebooking", tweeting and myspacing(if there is any word like that), and the list goes on and on. Social Networking seems to have become a normal part of our lives, it is like checking ones mail box for letters, it has become what people can not do without in a week, some statistics says an average american uses social networks at least twice in a week, and this statistics seems to be on the rise, with easy access to social networks through smart phones and other platforms. This has put a lot of people at the risk of been addicted to social networking, not doing it, is like not having your phone with you, one feels like a part of one is taken away. Addiction according to the dictionary.com is defined as the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. Many people may not agree that social networking is an addiction but the simple truth is can you do without IT in a day and feel its alright to do that.
