   ... Finally, their interest in recreation (both active and passive) changes as compared to the younger population. Similarly, as more women enter the workforce, the family is behaving more like a roommate family. Eating meals together at home every evening is no longer possible. And the dinner together is more of a chore to be completed as fast as possible. Right after the dinner each family member goes to their own private room or space and engage in text messages, YouTube, or watching television. Shared consumption is giving way to individual consumption at the convenience for each family member.

     There is also a growing trend of living alone by choice. More than one third of the U.S. households today are single adult households. This is due to delay in first time marriage from age eighteen to age twenty nine. And with aging of the population, many senior citizens (especially women) are living alone by choice. As a single person household, new habits are formed about what to buy, and how much to buy and from where to buy. In conclusion, changing demographics, public policy and technology are major contextual forces in developing new habits as well as giving up old habits. (Sheth, 2020)

这些事情真的在发生中，这个世界总在变，有一天这些事情就会变成常态了。

以前晚饭一定会人齐才开饭。后来大家生活，工作时间不一，开始了谁早回谁先吃。后来成员越来越多以后，分开吃。吃饱了就各自进行自己的活动。晚饭好像变成了那种必需品而已，不再是温暖的聚餐和增进感情的办法了。

以前没想过恩爱的夫妻或者父母会分居，后来妈妈告诉我，这些本来就不奇怪，厌倦了长期一起生活，虽然依旧相爱，但是还是希望拥有属于自己的空间。
