Video: The average Brit will spend over three years posting on social media

The average Brit will spend over three years posting on social media, one year down the pub and eight months queuing during their adult years, according to new research.

People will typically spend eight months laughing, five weeks arguing and 30 hours crying during the average adult lifetime. Those polled will also watch TV for eight years, four months, commute for one year, seven months and spend 17 years, 41 days asleep as a grown-up. Overseen by statistician Dr Geoff Ellis, the research of 3,000 UK adults was commissioned as part of the Samsung ‘Time of our Lives’ report to mark the launch of the new Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch.
