The graph illustrates the information about the variety of activities done by the elders in their leisure time from 1980 to the present in the United States.
Overall, it is obvious that time spent reading, hiking and surfing the internet has reached its apex point at the end of a given period apart from some fluctuations. In contrast, free time consumed by older people for watching TV and going to theatre reduced slightly over 10%, compared to their peak, at the end.
According to the graph, the significant and perfect rise of hiking, which stood at 20% in the 1980s and has hit 80% in the 2010s, can be seen over the period. Similarly, elder people pay more attention to TV since the 1980s, which percentages were raised considerably to end up at 70% in the 2000s then dropped moderately. Nonetheless, going to the theatre has become the least popular activity among all of the activities throughout the given timeline.
Although elders took time on surfing the internet at only 8% at the beginning of the period, the ratio of activity has leapt dramatically from the 2000s onwards.
Likewise, the percentages of the people who were interested in reading increased in 10 years from the 1980s to 1990s but the ratio dropped unfortunately to about 20% by 2000s. Afterwards, there has been an upward trend in this activity.
