Im Jahr 1900 arbeitete man ab dem 14. Lebensjahr 60-Stunden-Woche, verbrachte 6 Jahre mit Hausarbeiten ohne Geräte und mit dem Purpur "Bildschirme" Block existierte nicht.
Im Jahr 2024 verschlingen Bildschirme 11 Jahre und die Hausarbeit sank um ein Drittel. Das Gold "Alles andere" Der Splitter am Ende ist die gesamte unstrukturierte Zeit, die Sie in beiden Zeitaltern erhalten.
Wir haben 26 Lebensjahre gewonnen und die Bildschirme haben das meiste davon aufgefressen.

In 1900 you worked 60-hour weeks starting at 14, spent 6 years on chores with no appliances, and the purple „Screens“ block didn’t exist.
In 2024, screens eat 11 years and chores dropped by a third. The gold „Everything Else“ sliver at the end is all the unstructured time you get in either era.
We gained 26 years of life and screens ate most of it.
Kinda sad when you see it like that
Adjusting for infant mortality, the life expectancy in 1900 was actually 60-65 years.
What happened to childcare in the 2024 chart?
This is ace to see. This topic, a way to see your life, should be taught in schools.
What does „screens“ refer to in this context? Does working on a computer count as a screen? My children use monitors for homework and school stuff, would that be considered screentime too?.
So all your extra lifetime is spent for screen and commute.
Where is smartphone use? This graph is useless
Edit ahh, I m dumb and didn’t read
Hmm, this presentation makes it extremely difficult to compare the two time periods, both in terms of absolute time spent and in percentage of time spent. It does effectively convey the overall increase in length of life, though.
(The legend font is also too small.)
Edit: does this imply that the average American doesn’t spend even one square worth of time on religion? Or did the newer dataset just not include that?
I read “screams” instead of screens and thought, “that seems about right.”
I love that religion has fallen off. The sooner people realize that religion is fake asf the sooner we can get on with things and a species.
Graphic seems to be missing „enlarging poorly-labeled infographics to try to read print that is too small for anyone to read“.
Americans really didn’t spend much time on their screens in the 1900s!
People in the year 1900 commuted too. Sometimes for long periods each day, and that is omitted.
Trying to allocate time to „Screens“ in 2024 without considering time spent reading (books, newspapers) or watching stage performances and even films in the year 1900 is misleading.
I’m finding this graph really difficult to parse unfortunately. This Tetris style layout makes it almost impossible for my eyes to compare groups across the graphs.
I’d love to see a pie chart here to convey the change in percentage of time use.
Why are there so many more days now? This is a total misrepresentation of the average working adult person. Life expectancy has only gone up about 10 years in this time for working adults.
The irony of reading 11 years of screens while looking at a screen
Why didn’t they use screens in 1900? Morons!
So we sleep more and commute (sit) more.
Sedentary lifestyle – like has been said for decades.
But are screens included with work or separate? And shouldn’t screens be a part of another category? I mean screens can be work or they can be leisure. What the hell is “everything else” ?
I’d love to see how much screens has increased since 1990. Everything has a screen now – even a dehumidifier!

I like the aspect of showing how life expectancy increased but itd also be helpful to add a 100% stacked chart to directly compare if certain activities are the same or different
So screens make us live longer.
Well at least religion went down to zero. Glad to see that. But I don’t understand where did childcare go in the 2024 chart?
