>Average American watches 5 hours of TV per day (source: Nielsen report 2014)
>Average lifespan in the USA: 78.74 years (source: World Bank 2012).
>Remove 8 years from the beginning and 8 years from the ending of 78.74 = 62.74 years
>62.74 years * 1,825 hours of TV watching per year = 114,500.5 hours of TV (13.07 years of solid TV)
Theoretical TV Watching Lifetime: 114,500.5 hours of TV
Imagine for a moment that everyone in the USA stopped watching TV and started gardening or helping to garden somewhere else if they didn't have the space. Instead of /in/ for an average of 5 hours a day, people could spend of 5 hours of a day /out/ on average. It may be dark for many people during these hours, but we have lights right.
What do you think society would be like with such a massive change like this?
