[00:00.95]3"With inventions like cell phones

[00:03.96]and hand-held computers it is becoming more

[00:06.29]and more difficult to escape from work-

[00:09.02]the boundaries between work and leisure

[00:11.10]are gradually becoming blurred 1,

[00:12.95]and in the future it will be harder

[00:14.99]and harder to get away from it all.

[00:17.42]Already the average American is working

[00:19.60]163 hours a year more than thirty year ago-

[00:24.09]that's the equivalent of an extra month a year"

[00:28.04]4"Labour-saving devices and the resulting

[00:31.59]sedentary lifestyle could well lead

[00:33.75]to an epidemic 2 in obesity 3.

[00:35.90]It is predicted that the average man

[00:37.68]will weigh ten kilos more,

[00:39.97]and the average woman eight kilos more."

[00:43.04]5"A growth in online shopping

[00:46.05]and home-working may mean that our city centres

[00:48.66]become deserted 4 wastelands.

[00:50.93]The physical isolation 5 and loss of social

[00:53.13]interaction resulting from these changes

[00:55.81]could put further strain on family elationships

[00:59.28]and lead to depression

[01:00.58]and mental health problems."

[01:02.88]6"There will be a huge growth in the leisure

[01:05.67]and fitness industry as people struggle

[01:08.13]to combat the effects of inactivity,

[01:09.79]and social isolation."

[01:12.17]7"We will adapt in all sorts of ways

[01:15.21]that are as yet undreamed of.

[01:17.65]You should never underestimate

[01:20.03]the amazing adaptability 6 of human beings."

[01:21.33]
