Women spend much more time a day visiting social networks, while men spend more time watching and uploading videos and playing games. When it comes to age, we can also notice some differences. Those in younger age groups playmore games, while those in older age groups read online news- papers andmagazines more often. It is interesting to point out the fact that young men with (un)completed vocational or professional education pre- dominate in the field of playing computer games. Younger people also spend more time visiting social networks and listening to music. The con- nection between age and online tasks is also nicely illustrated by the inter- viewees’ statements below about consuming and creating content on so- cial networks. “I used Facebook myself, but I found it a waste of time, so I deleted my profile.” (Daša, 25 years old, young entrepreneur and student)
