Social Media - Too much time in it?

Many of us spend too much time on social media, do you - well, i do at times. It can be to the point of excessive. Sometimes unknowingly we have send several hours a day on facebook, twitter and watching those youtube vids. We ask ourselves, is there a better way to spend my time.

I'm not saying that we should not use social media. The question is - is it becoming too excessive that it becomes a hindrance to other more productive things we like to do, like reading a book, or going out to help someone in need or learning a new language.

Here's something I found rather interesting. In order to entice more people to read, rather than spend time on social media and the Internet, Milwaukee Public Library launched an interesting advertisement campaign that puts a funny twist on the famous social media logos we've all grown to love. Specifically, they've put a clever spin on the Facebook, YouTube and Twitter logos, giving people a friendly reminder that we should be spending more time reading than checking status updates, watching videos or tweeting our thoughts.
