    The document discusses how technology was expected to provide more free time but has instead increased demands on people's time. While labor-saving devices were meant to reduce work hours, people are now connected to work even after leaving the office through tools like email and smartphones. New technologies have also blurred the lines between work and leisure activities by integrating tasks like online schoolwork. As a result, people have less true free time than anticipated when these technologies were first introduced.
