If you have a teen at home, you probably are used to watching them type away furiously into their smartphones hours on end. They are so hooked on them; the smartphones seem like an extension of their arms. A peek into the life of an app-addicted teen reveals startling facts about the encroachment of internet and social media in the teen mind space.
According to statistics, about 95% teens have access to the internet, 78% have a smartphone and over 90% of them are on at least one social networking site. An average teen’s day starts with an internet enabled app like Facebook or Whatsapp and ends with an app like Tumblr.
This infographic by TeenSafe and Gryffin illustrates the app addiction among teens today, and takes note of online social lives and the smartphones that feed the addiction.
