With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the world has changed dramatically. The changes have greatly influenced how people utilize the media, mostly online platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. There are billions of people worldwide who depend on these digital platforms to access news, entertainment and socialize with family and friends. Moreover, people are increasingly using these platforms for work and learning. There has been massive dependence on digital technology. Without these connected devices, many people would not have any alternatives to keep their families together.

There are significant increases in social media usage. Many people use live streaming services to connect with other people.

To study the population identified above, we will survey for three months and perform a time series analysis of the number of hours people spent using digital devices before and after the pandemic.
