The More Time You Spend on Facebook, the Longer You Will Live!!!!!

Hahaha, it surely is an interesting point, but im not quite convinced by it, what are the exacts arguments that support that statement, I believe is either a fake study, or just some marketing action designed by Facebook.

But that doesnt mean social networks dont have a big impact on our lifes, in fact, they do, they have changes the way we communicate and build relationships in an amazing ways, and they will keep doing it for a lot of years and even decades to come.

Thinks about how relationships were made 10 years ago, and how that has changed this last years, this last 10 years, sociality and its forms suffer the most drastic changes in human history, and we are living those changes in a day to day basis, thats why social networks are such an interesting thing for me, studying them is really a passionate thing to do.

I dont know what the biological impacts of social media will be, I think we need to wait at least for a generation to pass to see those changes, I dont think they could really be predicted, after all, no one could predict social media 10 years ago.

Anyway, great post!

Thanks for this post Gregory, it actually made me laugh out loud and I"m not sure it was meant to be funny!! It made me laugh because I can't see how time spent in front of a computer or on a hand held device can contribute to a longer life. I'm a bit hippy in my views which is unfortunate for the industry that I'm in (but that's another issue!). All those WIFI signals? Screen time? Unreachable body and personality image? What does any of that do for our physical health?
I completely understand how having lots of quality and in-depth relationships in your life can help you to become fulfilled and live longer but, and this might be a sore point for some, I do not believe that those relationships can be created online. Social media is really quite a shallow arena which you have proven by saying that, and I quote:

"receiving friend requests actually improved mortality, whereas sending them did not necessarily. "

This highlights totally to me that it's not about the connection, it's about the ego.

If building up a following helps you to live longer; what about those people who are bullied online or suffer at the hands of keyboard warriors? Do they die younger?

I think that social media is one of the best business tools there is and for personal use it can have it's benefits, but my judgement is still reserved on whether the benefits outweigh the negatives for personal use.

With that in mind, I respectfully disagree with your point completely!

hahahha.. I thinks... my whole life.. now.. almost 12 hours on laptop and do social media management [cause I runninng for some client..] and smoke with coffe is my best friends.... is it can my life longerr... hahahhah

I don't believe it, but I do believe that if you do what you love you will live longer. If you love doing social media marketing you will live longer because you love what you do which increases quality of life.
