"Social media is great \u2014 it lets us have digital fun with friends, connects us with new people and quickly learn about the world beyond our backlit screens. With so much interesting content, sometimes it gets a little hard to peel our eyes and brains away from our tablets, laptops and smartphones. \nWe've all had friends who just can't seem to look away from their devices. Their eyes become glazed. They only answer your questions with simple grunts or hollow laughs. Absorbed in their phones, they lurch down the street with jerky, disjointed steps. \nIn short, they become social media zombies \u2014 not dead, but not quite alive either. \nThis infographic, put together by Confused.com, takes a look at several of the most familiar breeds of social media zombie. There's the \"check-in zombie,\" who can't go to any game, restaurant or bar without telling their social networks where they are. There's the \"hashtag zombie,\" whose social posts you can't read #because of their #extreme #overuse of #annoying #hashtags. There's also the \"zombie bride,\" who wants everyone on the Internet to be a part of their wedding planning process. \nFor more, check out the full infographic below; then, in the comments, tell us what types of social media zombies you've seen in the wild. \n\n\nThumbnail image courtesy Flickr, rodolpho.reis"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
