The bar chart illustrates how people aged from 15 to 19 and those over 75 expanded their time on six distinct recreational activities in the US in 2015.
Overall, it is apparent that adolescents devoted more time to active activities including socializing, playing games and sports, while the elderly people prefered passive activities. Additionally, watching TV was the most popular choice for both groups.
To begin with passive activities, either older people or juveniles spent the largest amount of their time on watching TV, with 4.5 hours and 2.4 hours respectively. In terms of reading, it was the second most common activity for the age group of 75 and over, with 1 hour, which was 5 times as high as the quantity of time spent by the age range of 15-19. As regards reading habit, the seniors allocated 0.6 hours to this activity, compared to only 0.1 hour expended by the younger age group.
Passive activities, on the other hand, were more favoured by the minor. Playing games was the second most popular activity for this age group, with 1.1 hours spent daily on this activity, double the time allocation of the seniors. Similarly, this gap was quite the same in sports, where people aged 15-19 spent 0.6 hours per day, triple the time spent by the age group of over 75. Socialising, however, projected the smallest difference between teenagers and older people. The former spent 0.8 hours and the latter expanded slightly lower, with 0.7 hours.
