This feature shares insights to our ongoing passion to learn and grow.

Levin mentioned the “90-9-1 Rule” that is an interpretation of the trends of internet creation and consumption.

Over half of social media apps users (56%) open a social media app more than 10 times a day. Most of us with a Facebook or Twitter profile already know the addicting nature of a news feed.

Levin provided expert analysis on the data, illuminating why age groups react differently to certain social media apps. The survey found that millennials check Snapchat much more than either Gen Xers or baby boomers.
