I'm not arguing that it's a good or a bad thing, it's just simply a fact of life now - most of the world's population of 18-24 year olds are addicted (to varying degrees) to social media.
I make it a habit to see what's trending each morning on Twitter for Baton Rouge and New Orleans... apparently Shreveport/Bossier isn't a big enough geographical area to be monitored... and when I checked this morning, I couldn't help but laugh!
