-- On an average day, nearly everyone age 15 and over (96 percent) engaged in some sort of leisure activity such as watching TV, socializing, or exercising. Of those who engaged in leisure activities, men spent more time in these activities (6.0 hours) than did women (5.2hours).
-- Watching TV was the leisure activity that occupied the most time (2.8 hours per day), accounting for more than half of leisure time, on average, for those age 15 and over. Socializing, such as visiting with friends or attending or hosting social events, was the next most common leisure activity, accounting for 43 minutes per day.
I am not surprised that we spend about four times as much time with the television as friends. I am surprised networking via the Internet with friends was not on the list. But my suggestion is you invite friends over to watch a great show. That way you can kill two birds with one stone.
