Are We Addicted to Technology?

I was inspired to write my blog about addiction to technology through a class I took last semester that focused on different types of sustainability. I was still left wondering if Americans today have a technological addiction. I have a Facebook, cell phone, Ipod, and TV and use them every single day. When I have nothing else to do, I find myself on Facebook for hours at a time. Sometimes I am watching TV, on Facebook, and texting all at the same time while attempting to do my homework. I know I am not alone and that many Americans and maybe even people from other countries do what I do daily. This appears to be a problem, but are we actually addicted?
