There's probably not enough information here for an answer to this specific question to be given.
Historically however, especially over the last 100 to 200 years, there has actually been less and less leisure time for most modern societies. Despite that work days have gotten shorter and that more holidays are added, the demands of modern careers have had an increasing demand on people's personal lives.
Historically as well, hunter-gatherers and the first agricultural civilizations known to man had a great deal of leisure time, especially when compared to modern standards.
Whether or not interest has increased is something that it may be difficult to substantiate, but the time used to engage in leisure activities has certainly declined throughout human history.
One hypothesis might be that since we as people tend to have less time for leisure, our interest in leisure has grown - much like the interest in many things we cannot actively partake in may be higher than those actions we do partake in.

Advancement refers to the overall progress in one's career, which can include gaining new skills, taking on more responsibilities, or moving into higher-level positions. Promotion specifically denotes a formal increase in job level or rank, often accompanied by a salary increase and greater authority. While all promotions are a form of advancement, not all advancements result in a promotion. In essence, advancement encompasses a broader range of career development activities beyond just formal promotions.
A form that is not considered a major technological advancement would be minor software updates or aesthetic changes to existing technology. These do not significantly impact or alter the way technology functions or how it contributes to overall progress in a field, unlike advancements such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, or biotechnology breakthroughs.
