The time we spend with screens now dwarfs that spent interacting with others. In 2024, the average Australian spent two hours and 13 minutes a day on screen-based activities – nearly half their free time – but just 38 minutes socialising in person. Young Americans now spend 70% less time attending or hosting parties than they did 20 years ago, and have among the highest screen time of any age cohort. Meanwhile, consistent surveys show a trend towards people, particularly men, having fewer close friends. As our reliance on technology has increased, the time we spend with others has shrunk.
