Several
media coincide in reporting a couple of alarming facts, that
unemployment in Spain has reached a historic height of 7.5% and the
average figure of each Spaniard over the age of 4, spent 4 hours and 5
minutes daily in front of the telly. These 2 things are related of
course; in time of the ongoing economic crisis, the more the
unemployment, the higher the consumption of television.
Naturally,
not all of us spend more than 4 hours daily watching television as the
figure was taken by average. For many, much less of course, but that
eaves the rest watching maybe 6, 7 or 8 hours a day glued to the TV
screen! These are, said the findings, people between 45 to 65, and live
in rural areas. A typology concurred with the many unemployed.
I
am not sure whether I should be classified as unemployed or not. I
work, but don't have a fixed work schedule or hours. On average, somehow
I can't find time to watch even 2 full hours of TV. There are so many
films I want to see but not able to do so. I must have been doing
something wrong not benefiting from regular income of a fixed
employment nor having enough leisure hours!
