Antisocial Media: IPad Madness Causing Holiday Sadness?

Mar 14 2011 | comment(s)

LONDON, March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The age of antisocial media is upon us. A recent online MyDestinationInfo.com survey, conducted by YouGov, revealed that 30% of UK holidaymakers who use a portable multimedia device update their Facebook status when on holiday, while 26% check their social feeds and 8% tweet (of those holidaymakers updating Facebook, women are busiest: 35% compared to 25% of men).

Even more startlingly, 48% of the holiday-making technology generation (those aged 16-24) use their devices to update their Facebook status when on holiday, while 43% check social feeds and 19% tweet. These figures underline the notion that we are quite literally incapable of switching off from social media, as we become increasingly interconnected.
