@Tracy – I understand the researchers tried to study a group of people with ADD but they couldn’t keep up!
@Ryan – It is a shame how complacent some people get, isn’t it.
@David – Seems to me there should have been a category for time spend filling out the survey.
@Money Reasons – Agreed on the TV thing… I can’t imagine working so hard to get to retirement only to sit on my ass!

I’ve seen this chart, but didn’t really go deeply into it until now. I didn’t realize that if you click in the chart, it provides further details about the activity. I did know about the different charts per different demographic groups on the right side.

Thanks for opening my eyes to this awesome chart! I’ll bookmarking this it for sure! I enjoy statistics like this!

I was amazed at the percentage of time the 65+ crowd watches TV. It makes sense of course, but still it’s eye opening to see. All the more reason to try to get into the best shape as possible, and to avoid making “watching TV” a habit!

I can’t believe someone actually collected all that information and graphed it. Which one of those colors was going to the bathroom again?

Awesome idea for a post. Thanks, Coach!

I found it funny clicking between the 15-24 age group then the next 25-? and looking at how education just drops completely off.

Lifelong learning isn’t really a big thing in America… TV watching however…

That chart is cool! It begins to look like some kind of monster if you take a Rochak test kind of a look at it, but I enjoyed playing with it just the same. I went to the women’s portion and started running along the times. All I can say is most women, me included, rarely do on thing at a time, so while I am eating and drinking, I am usually also doing household activities and/or work and/or educating and/or socializing and/or shopping and/or traveling, phone calls and sports. As we’ve established previously, I am a poster child for ADD. I’m not sure how productive this is, however, since I don’t think a lack of focus is necessarily a plus. Women are designed for multi-tasking though, I believe, it’s just that my particular version of multi-tasking starts out on steroids and frequently ends up in burn-out. I think that’s when the TV comes to life.
