From socialising on Snapchat to getting gourmet dishes delivered to your door to binge-watching the latest Netflix series, digital leisure is having a profound effect on the way Gen Yers spend their downtime. Is staying in really the new going out? And what will prise people from their sofas?

Netflix has 50 million subscribers, and it's offered in over 50 countries – but Australia isn’t one of them. So what do Australians do when they want to stream a movie? They do exactly the same as the rest of us, and watch Netflix – only they do it illegally.

Australians have gained a bad rep when it comes to media piracy, but data shows a 20% year-on-year fall in piracy since 2014. Aussies are favouring above board subscription services like Netflix and innovative ticketing systems like Choovie which offer cheap tickets over illegal downloads.

Australians are one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world, which increasingly translates to big spending on technological devices and services. This has escalated so fast, that in the last year Australians spent $20 billion on technology – more than ever before.
