This bar chart illustrates the statistics of those people, who had used the Internet on a daily basis in the intervals of 2003-2006 in the UK. The data reflected on the chart contains age-based and time-based categories such as the timeline itself and age groups like 16-24 years olds as the minimum age participants, and 65 plus years olds as the maximum age.
Overall, the elderly people,who are 65 years old or older, showed the least percentage of daily Internet use during the whole timeline of four years. Secondly, there has been a drastic increase in the usage of the Internet among the age group of 55-64 years olds, while only among teenagers and early adults, in contrast, was a sharp decrease.
Firstly, the only age group that had a decrease was 16-24 years olds. Even though they had a decrease from 100% to approximately 90%, they were still on the top of this statistic with 90% compared to others groups. Specifically, age groups of 25-44 years olds and middle aged adults to 55years olds used the Internet much, with statistics showing both increasing usage from 50-60% to 80% respectively.
When it comes to older generations, the oldest set of adults on the chart showed least percent of 20% by 2006. They only had a slight increase. About 55-64 years old adults, they are the ones who had the significant and drastic increase in 20%. Therefore their usage percentage went up from 30% to 50% in one year (2005 to 2006).
