“The Social Network Addiction” was the topic of discussion at a panel in Davos, Switzerland for the
World Economic Forum Annual Meeting.
The
panel, which was moderated by
Loïc Le Meur, the founder and CEO of
Seesmic, included Google’s Vice President of Search
Marissa Mayer, professor and author
Clay Shirky,
Linkedin Executive Chairman and founder
Reid Hoffman, the Archbishop of Dublin,
Diarmuid Martin, and several other great thinkers.
With the average time spent on social networks accounting for
22.7% of our time spent online, the panelists attempted to answer why social networks are so addictive, but more importantly, addressed how they are changing our lives.
We’d like to open this question to our readers: What is it about social networks that makes them so addictive? And have how they changed your everyday lives? Let us know in the comments.
Mashable’s CEO Pete Cashmore is attending the summit. He will be posting his observations and photos later in the week.
