Young People’s Changing Attitude Towards Pastimes

The mentioned bar graphs shows teenagers attitude to their


pastimes. X-axis shows years while Y-axis represents teen
attitude for pastimes (in percentage). The surveys are done in
three consecutive decades.

According to the graph, there is a change in young people’s


trend towards their favourite pastimes. The recent survey
shows that during the last twenty years, teenagers have gone
through significant changes in choosing their pastimes. This
survey-results are presented through a graph which shows that
there is a steady rise in young people’s tendency to watch TV.
Description continues….
In 1990, 41% of teen agers liked watching TV which increased
to 48% in the next ten years and it further increased to 52% in
the next decade. Unfortunately, the picture is grim in terms of
young people’s attraction to open field games and sports. When
50% of youngsters opted for games and sports in the 90s, 12%
withdrew themselves from it after a decade making it 38%.

Unfortunately, the falling tendency persisted on during the next


ten years and by 2010 it came to 25%. Though the young
people have dissociated themselves noticeably from games and
sports, there is a sharp and solid increase in their association
with online or computer assisted programmes. In 1990 when
the users of online or computer for pastimes were only 9%, in
2000 the number nearly doubled and reached 14% with a rapid
increase in the next ten years when it got up to 23%.
How to conclude?
Due to rapid urbanization and advancement in technology,
television has become a part of everyday life. This results in
young people’s choice for watching TV as one of the most
favourite pastimes. Secondly, the increasing modernization
and industrialization has reduced the number of open fields.
Therefore, there is a fall in selecting games and sports though
it’s not a good news for anyone. And the reason of selecting
the computer assisted or online programmes is that computer
technology is getting cheaper, easier, and more popular.
Thank you….
