The trends and developments in leisure in chronological order are:
- Industrial productivity and new technologies created new opportunities for leisure among the middle and upper classes.
- Mass migration to the suburbs and new technologies began to encourage people to stay home.
- Robert Putnam called television the "800-pound gorilla of leisure time."
- Research found that "Americans are increasingly less likely to go out for a dose of the arts, and more likely to stay home and enjoy performances in front of their home entertainment centers."
What are the trends in leisure ?
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, industrial productivity increased significantly due to advancements in technology. This led to shorter working hours and an increase in disposable income for the middle and upper classes.
In the mid-20th century, there was a mass migration of people from urban areas to the suburbs. This was due to factors such as the desire for more space, better schools, and lower crime rates. As people moved to the suburbs, they had more space for leisure activities such as gardening, barbecuing, and watching television.
In a 2004 study, the National Endowment for the Arts found that Americans were increasingly staying home to consume arts and culture rather than going out to see live performances or visit museums.
