Vilhelmson and Thulin mentioned the impact of technology on people and also the effect of it on home-centred leisure activity, arguing that it competes with in home and out-of-home activities such as watching videos, DVDs and also Television. In Sweden 80% of the population have access to their private and personal computer and 70% have also access to the Internet. In other words you can say that the use of the Internet in one’s leisure time may be displacing other home-based and out-of-home leisure activities. (Vilhelmson & Thulin,2008)

Gershuny observed the twin effects of technology on leisure:

Indirectly, where the use of computer technology may free up some of our time for leisure.

Directly, where the technology may create new forms of leisure consumption such as computer games, leading to greater family involvement or solitary participation, shifting the emphasis from public to more private leisure settings.

They also point to the potential impact of the increasing use of the computer in leisure time on the local community and social capital, with the shift towards more solitary leisure activities such as the Internet which impacts upon more communal leisure pursuits.

Vilhelmson and Thulin are also talking about the role of the television, not only in terms of its influences upon human behavior and social relationships within the home, but also in terms of its content and potential to generate antisocial behavior.

The Internet is not a social bonding activity for people in the same home or household.
