Social media appears to be taking over even the most private room in the house.

A study from Nielsen found 32% of 18 to 24-year-olds use social networking while in the bathroom. That could be updating a Facebook status or sending a tweet.

The study also found we're spending more time on social media compared to last year. Increasingly, that time is spent using smart phones.
