Do you wake up with Facebook or go to sleep with Twitter? Do you photograph or video every moment and share it on your newsfeed, Youtube or Instagram? Are you a #socialmediaaddict?
If so, you are not alone.
Surveys estimate most of us pick up our phones around 150 times a day, often to check social media. In this brand new documentary for TV3, Adrian Weckler, Technology Editor of the Irish Independent, meets self-confessed social media addicts of a variety of ages, and sets them the challenge of doing a digital detox for a full week.
Whether at locations like the music festival Castlepalooza, or at a Dublin TweetUp, Adrian also gets the views of a wide variety of social media users and experts about how facebook, twitter and snapchat, are changing our relationships, our brains and our behaviours.
Disclosure: Screen Slaves airs on TV3 on Monday, October 19th at 10pm.
