Where will you be playing in 2020?

Live-Work-Play-Shop-Learn in 2020

Good question.
The Federal Government tells us what to eat, cars park themselves, and phones are becoming your best friend.  When will we be told GPS devices have to be installed in a shoes with a pedometer to measure your walking per day – just so your health care costs can be subsidized by the Federal Government!?  

Time spent reading for personal interest and playing games or using a computer for leisure varied greatly by age. (Source BLS)

Individuals age 75 and over averaged 58 minutes of reading per weekend day and 21 minutes playing games or using a computer for leisure.

Individuals ages 15 to 19 read for an average of 7 minutes per weekend day while spending 1.2 hours playing games or using a computer for leisure

Leisure is the use of “free time” and not so much playing. The Wall Street Journal in their January 31, 2014 article indicated that youth participation in organized sports is on the decline. After all, there are too many games one can play ------ on a computer.
