Vanishing Hours: Subjective Time Passage in the Digital Era
Briefly

Digital media influences our perception of time, often leading to feelings of wasting time or experiencing a rapid sense of time passing. Higher immersion and perceived quality in digital life contribute to this effect. Individuals with a stronger future orientation tend to be more positively engaged in the digital realm. However, there are significant differences in levels of digital immersion and perceptions of time passage across various countries. This complexity highlights the dual role of digital media as both a connector and a potential source of disconnection.
Digital media can create a sense of wasting or losing time, as individuals feel a faster passage of time when more immersed in digital experiences.
Stronger future orientation among individuals correlates with a more positive experience of digital immersion, which contrasts with varying levels of digital engagement across different countries.
