considered essential for the young – playing with friends
and taking part in team sports. A related point is that
access to study is now almost always done at home,
whereas in the past it often involved going out to a
library or lecture hall. These days, with the development
of recording and relay technologies, even college study
can be done from home. Finally, many public spaces,
such as football fields, are being built on, so there are
fewer places where children can play safely.
In my view spending so much time indoors is a serious
issue because it leads to physical and mental ill health,
and ways must be found to address it. One strategy
would be for governments to ban construction on
playing fields and to give tax incentives to people
wanting to create new play areas. However, the most
effective measure would be to give higher status to
outdoor activities in schools. School curricula should be
changed to reduce the emphasis on academic subjects,
thus freeing up time to make PE a major part of the
school day and to encourage people from a young age
to be outdoors: habits developed in youth stay with
people their whole lives.
