when is facebook and internet use too much?

[Matthew]

when do you know you are using them too much? like having an addiction?

I think internet addiction is a thing when you are on it all day, and when you are not online it is your only concern. I wouldn't consider it an addiction if you are only on it a few hours a day. With technology in our lives as much as it is today, I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing to be on Facebook over 2 hours a day, especially if you have nothing better to do. Social Networking is fun, and entertaining. I think of it the same way as TV or video games. How much can you watch TV in a day without it being considered an addiction? Provided below is an informational link about more types of internet addictions.

When You are checking your facebook more than one times per hour. Or if you check it more than twice per day. I have a friend who checks her Facebook so much, and it's so annoying. It really has become an addiction for some people. People should put their phones down for a day and enjoy the outdoors, and something without technology.
