That's good to see India isn't even there on the list. It could easily top it.

I think it would be better to be off this list, it's getting a bit unhealthy.

I thought Brazil was in first place. Here if you don't use it, it's almost like being labeled a Neanderthal

Brazil is only 9 minutes behind Kenya. When it comes to talking about using social media or not, there's a lot to discuss. I personally think that spending more than an hour a day on it is excessive, it's even unhealthy. And it also says a lot about people.

There's a lot of Americans that spend no time at all on social media. Maybe America has an older population than those places.

Isnt the younger generation addicted to social media?
And does SN count as social media?

The younger generation is addicted to social media worldwide. Americas older generation is lowering the average of time spent on social media. And I personally would definitely consider SN to be social media.

Well I'm 43 and I spend a fair amout of time on SN. I probably spend more time on SN than any other social media, but we need more active users posting content here. Maybe we should consider a social media blitz day. I think I'll make a post about that on meta.
