I must admit I find it quite humorous – in a disturbing, twisted kind of way – just how quickly our society has adapted, communicatively speaking, since the ascension of Facebook to the top of the “coolest thing going online” list in the past handful of years. And while I’m certainly no stranger to the hugely popular website, I’m fairly certain I’ve managed to avoid that insane addiction which continues to afflict an ever-increasing percentage of the world’s online population on a daily basis.

Facebookaholism.

Yes, this chronic illness – while not officially recognized by the psychological community – is as dangerous as any I’ve ever encountered. And it’s only getting worse.

I’m sure those of you who, like myself, frequent the world of Facebook know exactly what I mean. You know, those people who, no matter how hard they try, simply can not break away from their smart-phone, laptop, desktop or, nowadays, tablet for more than ten minutes without updating or checking their current Facebook status. Or, for that matter, the status of their mother-brother-uncle-cousin-friend-best friend-best female friend-etcetera (the list goes on and on).

And if you’re reading this wondering to yourself just what, exactly, I’m talking about, you’re probably better off in the long run. Why? Because this Facebook addiction is serious business.
