Abstract The impact of the Internet is put into the context of long-term time-use trends in the United Kingdom, taking advantage of the nearly 40 years of time-diary studies that have been conducted. These trends in time use challenge several popular beliefs about how society has been changing in the wake of new technology and other social changes since WWII. The main focus of the analysis, however, is on a unique set of panel data in which respondents in nearly 1000 households completed full-week diaries in 1999 and 2000, making it possible to distinguish changes in three groups: prior Internet users, nonusers at both time points and new Internet users. No notable changes in social life were found in any of the three groups across the span of the study, indicating little support for the hypothesis of Internet users suffering significant losses in social life.
