The two pie charts illustrate the leisure activities of European adults in 1985 and 1995. The data shows how the popularity of different activities changed over a ten-year period.
In 1985, watching TV was the most popular leisure activity, accounting for 32% of the total. Eating out was the second most common, with 23% of people choosing this activity. Talking with friends and talking with family were also popular, at 21% and 18% respectively. A small percentage (6%) of people engaged in other activities.
By 1995, there were some significant changes. Watching TV remained a popular choice but slightly decreased to 30%. A new activity, playing computer games, appeared, making up 27% of leisure activities. Talking with friends increased to 26%, while talking with family dropped significantly to only 7%. Eating out became much less common, falling to just 8%. Other activities also decreased to 2%.
Overall, the data suggests that traditional social activities like eating out and talking with family became less common over time, while entertainment and technology-related activities, such as watching TV and playing computer games, gained popularity.
