An hour online means something different at 20 than at 60

An analysis drawing on data from 30 European countries argues that the experience of an hour spent online is not the same for a 20-year-old and a 60-year-old. It suggests that what screen time means for wellbeing depends not just on an individual's own internet use, but on how people in their age group and social circle typically live online.
Why now: The finding challenges the common assumption that measuring hours of screen time is enough to judge whether internet use is healthy or harmful.
