My inner cynic is interpreting this data a bit differently. Instead of going out for a walk or just engage in the 
gentle art of doing nothing, the social media users need something to keep their minds distracted from the here and 
now. Anything to avoid having to do any kind of self-reflection or, heaven forbid, live in the moment. And I fear that 
it doesn't apply to adolescents only...

Best,
