“Social isolation was another concern in relation to high computer use. A negative loop was suggested, in that already lonely people may have a preference for using computers, which in turn could increase their tendency to lack real-life contacts and relationships, and lead to even heavier computer use… On the other hand, computer use was also considered to decrease depression through allowing easy access to social support even during times of depression and by supplying fun and entertainment. ”(Thomée et al, 2012).
