This doesn’t make any sense. Forgive me for being crude but for the vast majority of over 65’s… it just doesn’t matter what they do with their time. They’re waiting around to die.
Children will grow up to build the future so what they do or don’t do matters a lot.
Not to endorse this attitude about my end of the population pyramid - but it does raise an interesting point about how TV screen time was measured for the older folks.
In long-term care facilities, hospitals, doctors' offices, etc. - where the TV's are just left turned on all day, "turn it off" isn't an option, and a fair number of the older folks may have failing hearing / eyesight / cognition (so they might have a hard time following the content on the TV, even if they wanted to) - was that "screen time" added into the numbers?
