Blame social media the next time it feels like forever for your turn to use the toilet.<\/p>\n

According to a study released Monday, 32 percent of people in the United States aged 18 to 24 say they use social networking in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

The same report from marketing research firms Nielsen and NM Incite also found that 51 percent of US adults between 25 and 34 use social networking in the office — more than any other age group.<\/p>\n

While personal computers remain the primary tools for logging onto sites like Facebook and Twitter, the report — posted at blog.nielsen.com — noted a significant increase in the use of cellphones and tablets as well.<\/p>\n

Forty-six percent of respondents said they used a mobile phone to connect online, up from 37 percent last year, while 16 percent used a tablet like Apple’s iPad, up from just three percent in 2011.<\/p>\n

Facebook remained by far the most popular social networking site among Americans — but there was a stunning 1,047 percent year-on-year increase in the number of unique PC visitors to the online scrapbook Pinterest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
