&gt;<i>Assuming that the activities that you find satisfying involve interacting with other people.</i><p>I&#x27;d venture to say that for the majority of people, that is the case (the activities that they find satisfying involve interacting with other people). I mean, even introverts go on the internet and enjoy stuff involving interacting other people all the time, the just don&#x27;t do them in close contact.<p>But even things that don&#x27;t involve other people directly (present or remote), they do involve other people in making them. E.g. reading a blog or a webcomic or listing to music, still involves these other people (its creators) making those things.<p>Hence, when everybody gets more free time, then you get more free time to e.g. read, and others get more free time to write stuff that you&#x27;ll eventually read.
