Research shows more Americans are ditching going out for staying at home
from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media
America is becoming a nation of homebodies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we all spent more time at home - sometimes more than we'd have liked to. However, researchers have found that the trend of spending more time at home actually predates the pandemic by several decades. And perhaps unsurprisingly, technology may play a role in our reluctance to step outside the front door. In this episode, we'll explore the implications of how we spend our time - from working from home to shopping online to sleeping more. We'll talk about how it impacts our cities and urban planning, as well as our mood and well-being.
