The data reveal a significant 'functional impairment gap' between generations, with around 33% of those aged 16\u201330 reporting that their use of social media interferes with their daily responsibilities.\r\nThis rate is almost triple that of the older cohort, with only 12% of users aged 31 and over reporting similar patterns of neglect."}
