“Negatively associated with overall well-being … particularly mental health”.

Let’s connect a couple of recently reported studies …
First, the BLS periodically reports how Americans spend their leisure time.
According to the NYT, channeling the most recent BLS report:
The average time that users spend on Facebook is nearing an hour.
Putting that hour of Facebook in perspective:
That’s more than any other leisure activity surveyed … with the exception of watching television programs and movies (an average per day of 2.8 hours).
It’s more time than people spend reading (19 minutes); participating in sports or exercise (17 minutes); or social events (four minutes).
It’s almost as much time as people spend eating and drinking (1.07 hours). NYT

And, a recent study published by the Harvard Business Review indicates that all that Facebook time is unhealthy.
