Media research has shown that people enjoy watching television as a part of socializing in groups. However, many constraints in daily life limit the opportunities for doing so. The Social TV project builds on the increasing integration of television and computer technology to support sociable, computer-mediated group viewing experiences. In this paper, we describe the initial results from a series of studies illustrating how people interact in front of a television set. Based on these results, we propose guidelines as well as specific features to inform the design of future "social television" prototypes.

This study investigates the role of traditional and information and communication technology (ICT)-mediated leisure activities in consumer behaviour. An online survey of 558 members and 1,319 ex-members of an Australian DVD rental company gathered preferences for nine traditional leisure activities and seven ICT-mediated leisure activities. The results of a cluster analysis showed four clusters with significant cluster differences across leisure activities as well as across demographics and consumer behaviours. For practitioners, the study illustrates how profiling customers on their leisure preferences can increase advertising effectiveness, reflect loyalty and help predict customer lifetime value. For academia, the results reveal how another consumer dimension, leisure activities, relates to demographic and behavioural characteristics.

“…A number of researches indicate that people who visit chat rooms tend to spend extended periods of time online (5.5 hours a day) and suggest that chatting can also be addictive (3). The protection institute of America recommends that children and adolescents should spend no more than one to two hours a day on the computer or Internet because it can result in negative psychological complications such as alienation, anxiety, depression, and even physical bodily pain (4).…”

Background: As the use of computers and the Internet by adolescents and young adults continues to grow, it appears to be essential to study the relationship between the consumption of electronic media and mental health. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between depression and Internet addiction in nursing students of Hazrat Zainab school of nursing (Larestan University of Medical Sciences) and Gerash Paramedical School, located in the southern part of the Fars province. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive correlation study, in which a questionnaire, including the beck depression inventory (BDI) and the young's internet addiction test (IAT), were distributed among a total 150 volunteer students of Larestan Faculty of Medical Sciences. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software, version 19 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results:The results showed that four percent of the participants of this study had Internet addiction and this dependency on the Internet, as according to the t-test, was not significantly different between males and females. However, the current results showed a significant association between depression and Internet addiction (P = 0.024, r = 0.222). Conclusions: Technology plays an important role in our everyday lives and the identification of its dimensions is crucial.
