How many adults use social media? • 67% of online adults use a social networking site, representing more than half of the entire adult population in the U.

Reasons for Facebook Breaks • 61% of Facebook users have voluntarily taken a multi-week break from the site in the past. Here’s why:
How important is Facebook to you? • 59% of Facebook users say the social networking site is about as important to them as it was a year ago. 53% say the amount of time they spend on Facebook is about the same as last year. • 28% of Facebook users say the site has been less important to them than it was a year ago. 34% of users say the amount of time they spend on Facebook has decreased over the past year. • 12% of Facebook users say the site has become more important to them than it was a year ago. 13% of users say the amount of time they spend on Facebook has increased over the past year.
• Women are more likely than men to report increased importance and time spent on Facebook. • 42% of Facebook users ages 18 -29 and 34% of those ages 3049 say their time spent on Facebook has decreased over the past year. • Just 23% of Facebook users over age 50 reported decreased Facebook usage.
In the coming year: 3% of Facebook users say they plan to spend more time on the site. 27% say they plan to spend less time on the site. 69% plan to spend the same amount of time on the site. Young people are the most likely to say their time spent on Facebook will decrease.
