CHANGE IS THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE

Over the years many things have changed. From the
generation of the grandparents to the parents, to the
present day the circumstances have changed and so has
the spare time of the people.
The general changes were bound to happen generation
after generation due to the advent of new devices but
along with that many more significant changes have taken
place with respect to spare time.
The following report highlights the basic changes with
respect to Spare Time ONLY
The hobbies of the people have evolved. During the
time of thee grandparents the spare time included
games other than cricket due to low popularity of the
game at that time. On the other hand, the last
generation spent a lot of free time on such sports. Fast
forward to present day, the current generation spends
their time on tablets and mobiles (mostly indoor
activities) which causes the threat of obesity and
related problems.
At the times of the grandparents the families were
large and many relatives stayed together. So people
usually spent their spare time with their relatives. This
started to change with time and at the time of the last
generation the families started to divide and people
spent more of their free time with new friends.
During the 1930s and 40s people mostly lived in
small and underdeveloped cities or villages which
meant less space for passing spare time but with time
they migrated to bigger and better cities due to which

the last generation had better facilities and spent

more of their free time outside the house.
In the olden times the caste system and religious
issues were prevalent in India so children mostly spent
their time with people of the same social and religious
background. Today this problem has lessened to a
great extent and todays generation spends time with
people irrespective of caste and creed.
The most significant conclusion that can be drawn is
that in the olden times the people spent their physical
times mostly outside the house whereas today spare
time is spent inside the house. This is mainly due to
two reasons
1. The children are attached to electronic devices or
simply too lazy to go out and play.
2. Due to immense pressure of studies most people
dont get enough spare time.

A lot has changed from the time of my grandparents to the

modern day. The change is seamless. Each passing day
brings a new dimension to the world. Who knows how the
world would be in another 10 years?
Till then we can only adapt, or rather acclimatize to the
new circumstances.
