I was going to say, "You might not have noticed, but it has been the 21st century for a quarter-century." However, you clearly did notice, so I'm not sure why you bothered to make this post. It's like you came to a conclusion, realized your empirical data was empirically out-of-date, but decided to press on anyhow. Rather than elucidate the subject, you just exposed your biases.

For instance, in 2015, > On average, students spent about 14 HPW preparing for class, 6 HPW working for pay, 12 HPW relaxing and socializing, 7 HPW participating in co-curricular activities and community service, 2 HPW caring for dependents, and 3 HPW commuting to campus. These activities accounted for a total weekly average of 45 HPW. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11162-018-9497-z https://doi.org/10.1007/s11162-018-9497-z I've looked for other data and have not found anything to indicate the trend has reversed.
- 59percentmore 2mo agoThat's a mischaracterization of the study. The very next sentence: However, the standard deviations indicate that there is considerable variation in how students allocate their time to these activities. Additionally, their data is an "analytical sample" extracted via "weighted random selection" from a larger data set from more than 10 years ago. We don't know how well that sample fit the broader reality a decade ago, let alone today. That you went fishing for research to support your argument and this is the best you could find is telling.
