Can’t blame them. I love reading and gaming, but after a brutal day at work, all I can do sometimes is zone out with the TV in the background.
Why is sleeping not on here?
It has been reported people take vacation days now to catch up on sleep..
what happened in 2020 that reading spiked so much, any book recommendations?
Why is social media missing?
Computer leisure is the new euphemism for masturbation eh?
Does walking outside in nature / walking your dog not count as leisure time?
If I read the word „leisure“ I can only hear „That’s not the Stig, that’s leisure Stig, useless driver“ in Jeremy Clarksons voice
Ya know, I’m actually surprised by this data here. My bias would have 100% expected that TV, Movies, and Playing Games would have dramatically increased over that 20 year period with the rise and widespread adoption of smartphones. The fact that TV/Movies has stayed so stagnant despite it being easier than ever to watch „your shows“ whenever and wherever you want is really surprising to me.
Similarly, I would have expected playing games to have exploded by *far* more than ~10 minutes per day since 2003, again, considering how easy it is to get highly addictive dopamine rushes through app stores.
Very surprised „Reading“ is above „Computer Leisure“. Reading is down in society, and social media consumption is *massive*.
I feel like there’s a self-defining issue with respondents. Cause people spend *a lot* of time on social media, which I would say is „Computer Leisure“, but maybe respondents are splitting that between „Relaxing“ „Listening to Music“ and „All other Leisure“.
Gotta bear in mind people don’t typically *just* listen to music, they listen to music whilst looking at something on their phone. Similarly most people are dual screening, so when watching „TV and Movies“ they’re simultaneously engaging with „Computer Leisure“ on their phone.
The last couple of times I’ve watched movies with people has been depressing. They’re usually on their phones through the whole damn thing. People claim to watch a movie but if you talk about the sound design, art direction, how the lighting was in a certain scene, they usually have no recollection of it.
How is smartphone use not a category? I thought Americans averaged like 5-6 hours per day on their phones. Not sure how much is „leisure“, but would still likely be above TV.
Wow i surprised how much TV stayed stable and gaming barely seem to move at as well
People are watching 2.5 hours of TV *per day*? That’s insane. So much for „I don’t have time to cook“ or „I don’t get enough sleep.“ That’s such a huge amount of time to be in front of a TV, and that’s the per day average, so some days are way more to account for days without any tv.
This seems incorrect because people spend hours scrolling on the phone.
When I was a teenager I loved to read fanfiction and surf lifejournal. I would have never, ever, ever admitted it to anyone else because it was seen as major loser behavior to spend 3-6 hours a day surfing the internet, especially fanfiction.
And now? Complete cultural switch up. Kids are openly talking about fanfiction. And thanks to the little screens in their pockets, people are spending several hours a day online and everyone is transparent about it. What used to be a source of shame is now completely commonplace.
Is sport banned over there?
Is computer leisure basically doom scrolling?
Thought playing games would be higher.
Y’all mfs need to get some hobbies
So interesting everything went down to some degree after 2020 except gaming
