In the modern world, everything is susceptible to change – jobs, politics, economy, ecology, and even people themselves. While some claim that in this fast-paced era, people’s interests are transient and merely influenced by current trends, I hold the belief that hobbies establish an enduring link between different periods. This essay aims to present evidence supporting this viewpoint.
Sports have consistently remained one of humanity’s most favored pursuits throughout history. No passing fad can coerce individuals into stepping onto a court and enduring hardship for the sake of experiencing genuine contentment afterwards.
Despite the changing trends, people’s love for sports, reading, and traveling remains constant. Sports may evolve over time, but the addiction to it persists. Similarly, reading has always been a timeless hobby that never goes out of fashion. Since ancient times, people have always found solace and enjoyment in books. Additionally, traveling is a hobby that is immune to any trend. From birth, individuals have an innate desire to explore and seek new experiences. While advancements in technology have made traveling more popular nowadays, it has always been a fascinating pursuit throughout history.
The only difference is that earlier people travelled on foot and now they do it by air. However, there are reasons to consider some hobbies as mere reflections of modern trends. Computer games and watching TV emerged in the 20th Century and quickly gained popularity. Nevertheless, these interests are temporary and will certainly be supplanted by future technological advancements. In conclusion, modern technologies may have an impact on people’s hobbies, but genuine interests remain constant and unaffected by fads.
