From online voyeurism to online stalking and web narcissism to chronic over-sharing, the Seven Digital Sins Infographic reveals that digital trend setters are more likely to commit these sins than regular social media users. The chart outlines the "digitally deviant" behavior that is most common among the Internet world where online presence virtually dominates in this day and age. Whether it was due to binge-like behavior (gluttony) or boredom, the graph makes one question clear -- whether they have actually committed one of these deadly sins for convenience, laziness (sloth), or fear of human interaction.
