Well, in my point of view, yes, there are more activities for young people to do now than 20 years ago. Because if you look at the past, the number of games that were made popular were very low. Previously, I think in our country, only cricket and football were popular. But as with the development of technology, we were able to learn about a lot of new games. For example, sword fighting or swimming. Swimming was not a very popular sport back in our country in the last 20 years. But now it has become quite popular than archery as well. It was not that popular before, but with the rise of the industrial age and the internet, information flows from one corner to another. And I think everyone now has a smartphone in our country, most of the people actually. So they can actually, young people, so they can take their phones and they can check whether or not there is a certain kind of activity available.
