Every third Swede on the internet is online more often now than before the corona virus struck. This is demonstrated by the annual Swedes and the Internet survey conducted by the Internet Foundation.
The pandemic leaves a clear impression. Our domestic work has multiplied by ten-two-thirds of all white-collar workers have worked from home at some point since the crown crisis. For half of all who now worked from home, it was the first time.
And the rating is good: eight out of ten think it works well and nine out of ten want to continue doing it in the future. Something that suggests that new habits will change the way we work.
It’s easier to cheat on tests
Younger people who have been forced into distance education, on the other hand, are not so satisfied. Just under a quarter of those who go to college prefer distance learning, and just under three in ten high school students think they learn distance learning just as well. Two out of three high school students also think it’s easier to cheat on tests.
They are also affected by the increase in screen time, 93 percent of students are not satisfied with the amount of time they spend in front of a digital screen in their free time.
High school students are the most frequent Internet users, but it is retirees who have increased their time online the most.
High school students feel less social about screen time, a figure that fits the restrictions. In the first quarter of this year, they felt more social when they spent time in front of the screen – 40 percent felt social. It had fallen to 28 percent in the third quarter of this year.
A clear effect
The opposite is true for retirees, where 37 percent now say they feel more social about screen time. In the age group over 76, the figure is 42 percent. A clear effect of being a risk group that has been forced to isolate itself more than many others.
Retirees have also made clear digital steps. They use social media, e-shops, and make video calls with family and friends to a greater extent than before.
In addition, seven out of ten people over the age of 76 have used a digital health service.
And the number of Swedes on the internet has also increased during the year: One percent of current internet users weren’t there before the pandemic.
