After spending all day rushing around trying to make sure you’ve done everything you need to do, most people would want to get home and relax, but what form does relaxation come in in a modern society?

Recent research from Nationwide has revealed that a large proportion of us (89%) think that modern technology has made our lives easier, but over half of those (59%) don’t feel like they have any more free time. This could be because almost a fifth of us admit to spending over five hours a day on technology outside of work, while 21% say they spend 3-4 hours a day. The most popular digital items we use are laptops/computers (82%), smartphones (32%) and tablets (28%).

Technology has sped up a number of our household chores and tasks. We are now able to control our central heating, lights and even fridge or oven from our smartphones as well as doing our online banking, tax and insurance to name just a few. Despite all of this it looks like we aren’t using that ‘free time’ as well as we could be. In fact, 10% of us admit to using more than one item of technology at the same time. Technology has made us permanently switched on.

To help you switch off Nationwide are offering one lucky winner a £50 Love2Shop voucher which can be used for some retail therapy as well as at many restaurants and attractions across the UK.
