Some people may argue that people in two decades will not be able to enjoy their leisure time more than the present. However, I would say that people could spend more time on their own activities rather than working in the future. This is because the development of technology would be useful in terms of time-efficiency, and because demographic transformation could change the life styles of the entire population.

To begin with, the progress of science would help people utilize their time more efficiently. To be specific, the development of technology could lead to innovations of people’s lives by producing a number of new devices. For instance, smart house would be prevalent in the future, which indicates that people can handle all of their appliances, electronic equipment wherever they are, and that central control system regulates energy usages of the house. Unmanned vehicle would be produced in the future, which implies that people do not need to spend their time on driving. Including aforementioned technologies, a lot of innovation would be applied to people’s lives. This could make people possible to reduce their time to be spent on extra work. It means that they would have more time to do what they really want.

On top of that, the transformation of population composition will lead to change in people’s tendency of spending hours. So to speak, there would be rise in aging people worldwide in twenty years later. Generally, elderly people spend more time on their leisure activities rather than work. As population of old people increases, the life styles of the whole population would face changes accordingly. Statistics recently released by Korea Tourism Organization showed that the number of older people traveling to other countries in Korea has steadily increased over the decade. The statistics estimated that the main factor is due to the demographic change in Korea. It also predicted that a larger number of aging people would take trips overseas in the future. Consequently, change in population composition means that there would be more population enjoying their leisure time.

To sum up, people in the future could spend more time on leisure activities due to the development of technology as well as population transformation. In this regard, I strongly believe that it is realizable for people in two decades to spend more time on their leisure activities.
