This chapter investigates whether Internet use and involvement in social networking sites are related to
the unpaid help that is provided to members of the surrounding communities. Three different forms of
unpaid help are studied: assistance in care, housework and technology use. Previous literature dealing
with the impacts of ICT use on the social cohesion of communities and the sense of togetherness is
discussed to provide a solid basis for the research. As for the empirical part of the study, the chapter
analyses the Finnish Time Use Survey collected between 2009 and 2010. The results show that it is not
Internet use per se that is associated with the provision of informal help to the other members of a
neighbouring community. Rather, it is the social use of the Internet which is positively associated with
the informal help given to others in the offline context. However, Internet use may also add to informal
help, provided face-to-face, but only when the help is given in technology use. The study suggest that
the social benefits of Internet use, and especially those of online social networking, for communities
are strongly segmented according to the type of help provision.
