There is a view that people at the moment use their spare time more passively than in the past. I will here elaborate on both my agreement and disagreement towards the opinion along with the reasoning.
To begin, I agree that people nowadays spend their free time less actively than in the past. People in this decade are really lazy, while people in the past were really diligent. Many people today use their spare time to sleep from morning to evening. They prefer to silence in their home. They don’t utilise their free time to do beneficial activities, such as sports, walking around, and reading a book. Meanwhile, people in the past were the opposite.
Furthermore, people used to play with their gadgets all day in their homes and don’t want to go anywhere. Some people play games, such as PUBG, Free Fire, and Mobile Legends. They play it unstoppable until they forget their main activity. The others use their gadgets to play social media such as TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. They scroll it until they are addicted. That activity makes people tend to be passive. Meanwhile, not all people in the past had gadgets.
However, I disagree with the view that people use their spare time to do activities that can give them many advantages so that they can be more active than people in the. They can do exercises, such as football, volleyball, and basketball. They play it with their friend, family, or their work colleague. This activity indirectly encourages them to be more active than people in the past.
To conclude, people nowadays spend their free time less actively than in the past because for some reasons as explained earlier, even though there is one argument that rejects the view.
