I only had 7 participants in my survey, all friends and family.
6 out of 7 respondents replied Yes to question 1.
4 out of 7 respondents replied Yes to question 2.
2 respondents replied "a" to question 3, 3 replied "c" and 2 replied with "d".
1 out of 7 respondents replied Yes to question 4.
1 out of 7 respondents replied Yes to question 5.

These findings provide a good indication that while the majority of people aren't addicted to social networking, they can't really see themselves without it in their lives. Do we need to read into this further to determine whether people use these mediums of communication because they are sad and lonely or is it just simple human nature to want to connect and we should leave it all alone. I don't know, only time will tell if using these sites is actually a bad thing or whether it's perfectly safe and acceptable.

My result is comparable to official surveys regarding internet use in that many who use these services are using them regularly, and also having approximately 85% of respondents with a Facebook account generally lines up with first world figures.
