I think there is a drop off in interest in technical/scientific hobbies, brought
about by the very significant increase in the number of students that are
dropping maths and the sciences in their later secondary school years so
that they can graduate more easily by doing the "easier subjects".
It follows that if you are not up to speed with maths/science, you're
unlikely to get into a hobby that requires at least a modicum of knowledge
of those two subjects.
