Choosing by my Internet score of  38 one would say I'm pretty average when it comes to the use of social media.  I myself would respond by saying that based on the way i chose to answer the questions on the Internet junkie test i might just be a little bias. I would say on average for me i spend about 6-8 hours online including text messaging. This does not however include the time i subconsciously spend using social media. I would say that in most cases the time i spend online using social media including text messaging and Internet, is both good and bad depending on where exactly it leads me.  It is not the best use of my time when i find my self on YouTube for hours looking at one video after another, only to realize that half of my day has passed. On the other hand it is the best use of my time when i randomly have an educational curiosity for learning, and i find myself researching something that i otherwise had no interest in researching. So for me social media is used for education, recreation and information.
