- The fact that people are able to watch movies and music videos at home on the Internet prevents them from going outside to concerts or cinemas. These people miss out on these fun experiences which their friends go out on. As a result they feel left out. People who stay at home and play games on the computer instead of going outside with their friends lose self-confidence and lose their self-esteem as they do not feel happy going out. These people may also suffer from serious health issues such as diabetes and obesity as they suffer from a lack of exercise.
- The developments in technology has enhanced the entertainment and leisure services which are available but these services are mostly targeted at the younger generation who enjoy playing these games and listening to music. There are no services which are aimed at the older generation who are bored and lonely. These people may benefit from these services more than the younger generation as they have more time on their hands.
