Abstract
Introduction: Recently, the digital processes and the online opportunities have become especially important, and this situation was only intensified by the appearance of the coronavirus epidemic.
Aims: The purpose of the present research was to examine the media usage habits, especially the experiences during the pandemic compared tot he previous years.. The reports of the last five years from the „DATAREPORTAL” site was analyzed, in which they always summarize the digital habits of the 16-64-year-old age group.
Results: The daily average time spent on the internet has been over six hours for years, and although the number of tasks and opportunities offered by the internet has increased widely as a result of the pandemic, it has not drastically increased the daily amount of the internet use. At the same time, the use of the social media shows a slow, but steady growth.
Conclusion: It seems that the internet use has reached its maximum, as the daily amount of using time has not increased above seven hours for years. However, this amount still represents a third of our days, so the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is learning to use the internet in moderate and conscious way.
