The chart presents the number of hours of free time activities that were enjoyed by two different age groups (ages 15-19 and 75 and over) in a typical day in 2015, in the US, according to different hobbies.Both age groups state watching television as the activity to which they dedicate the biggest amount of time, with older people spending on average 2.4 hours in front of the screen every day and younger ones 4.5 hours.

For people aged 15-19, the least favorite hobby seems to be relaxing and thinking, an activity that they do 0.1 hour a day whereas people over 75 appreciate it for just over half an hour daily. The same goes with reading: older people tend to read for a time period that is five times bigger in comparison to the young ones. The older age group spends the least amount of time in exercise, sports, and recreation.

Lastly, both groups spend almost the same amount of time on socializing and communicating with other people. Overall, with the exception of socializing, the chart demonstrates that younger and older people prefer to divide their free time in different types of activities in different ways.
