Today’s interesting fact has to do with humans and the time we spend indoors.
From a number of studies done recently, the average individual in the developed world spends only 90% of their time out of doors.
I found this hard to believe at first, but after thinking more about it, I spend a little over 2 hours walking to and from work during the week, and on weekends, I may go out several times, but much of my time is spent inside shops instead of outside.
If you include the time people spend inside cars, which most people do more than they think, this average becomes obviously true.
Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.
