Today, according to the data provided by the latest We Are Social study with the Hootsuite tool, more than half of the world's population, 53%, is connected to the Internet, and the majority are users or active users of social networks, a group that has increased by 14% since last year. A large part of this group accesses their favorite social networks by mobile, and there are even regions or countries where there are more devices than users.

Although Facebook is still the most used social network in the world with more than 2,000 million users and monthly active users, Instagram already doubles Twitter in active users.

In this post, the writer Roy GalÃ¡n denounces the requirements that a few days ago they asked for in a casting in Madrid: "actress from 17 to 22 years old who has at least 80,000 followers on Instagram or who is an influencer". Considering the above, in Guadalajara, a creative and software development company, applied a survey associated with the use of social networks by its employees within their working hours. For this, a sample of 26 men and 26 women was taken to identify a statistic of the time they use per day (remember that in this type of company one works by objectives) and the following was found: Sex Hours per day affects homework, projects, etc. H 1 no H 2 no H 1.5 yes H 2 no H 5 no H 2 no H 4 no H 5 yes H 8 yes H 4 yes H 1 no H 1 yes H 1 no H 2 yes H 2 no H 0.25 no H 2 yes H 0.33 yes H 3 yes H 2 yes H 2 no H 3 yes H 5 no H 1 no H 3 yes H 2 yes M 5 yes M 2 yes M 2 yes M 1 no M 10 yes M 3 no M 1 no M 1 no M 5 yes M 4 yes M 2 yes M 2 yes M 3 yes M 4 yes M 5 yes M 2 no M 1 no M 4 no M 3 yes M 2 no M 3 yes M 2 no M 1 no M 5 yes M 2 no M 3 no a) Investigate in digital media what is the number of hours in front of social networks (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.) that the WHO already considers an addiction?
