The bar chart compares how much time was spent on a range of free time activities by the youngest and oldest American population in 2015. Overall, watching TV was the most popular activity among both age groups though older people dedicated much more hours to this pastime. In addition to television, young people tended to prioritize socializing, playing computer games and engaging in sports, while old people spent more time reading and relaxing.
Older people showed consistently higher engagement in activities such as watching TV, reading, and relaxing/thinking. On average, older population spent 4.5 hours watching TV, a substantial contrast to the younger age group, who allocated under 2.5 hours to the same activity. Regarding reading, older people devoted one hour of spare time, whereas those from the 15-19 age bracket spent about 10 minutes. A similar pattern was observed in relaxing/thinking, with older people dedicating over half an hour compared to 5 minutes spent by their younger counterparts.
A completely different picture can be observed in the remaining activities. Socializing showed somewhat similar figures, with younger people spending a little more at around 45 minutes. However, this disparity grew bigger in playing video games or computer use as younger people spent almost twice as much time as older people, 65 minutes compared to 30. Lastly, younger individuals allocated little over 30 minutes for doing sports but this figure stood at less than 15 minutes for those aged over 75.
