To judge by their posts on Facebook, they are having the time of their lives. But almost two-thirds of social-media users lie to ‘airbrush reality’ and make their lives seem more interesting than they are, according to a revealing new survey.
The findings have led psychologists to warn that some may succumb to ‘digital amnesia’, believing their own versions of events and forgetting what really happened.
