The two bar charts illustrate the percentage of computer possession from the year 2002 to 2010, comparing in terms of the population and different levels of education.
In general, there was a steady growth in the ownership of computers by percentage of individuals over time. It is also noticeable in the second bar graph that the higher the educational level is, the more it leads to the possession of computers. People with postgraduate qualifications were the highest among all to have computers as compared to the other educational levels.
At first, the rate of owning computers gradually increased over an 8-year period, where from 2002, under 60% of people possessed computers. With a 5% year-by-year increase, the computers were mostly acquired by people at around 75% in 2010.
In contrast, the trends visible in the second bar chart highlight that the portion of owning computers at specific educational levels were considerably high in 2010 than in the year of 2002 earlier. People with no high school diploma were the ones who possessed minimum computers from approximately 15% in 2002 till expanded up to above 40% in 2010. However, high school graduates and college-level individuals owned computers 20% higher than them over the time. Contrary to them, the people with bachelor’s degree and postgraduate qualifications had around 10% more ratio of computers up to 75% till 80% in 2002 and nearly 85% till 95% in 2010.
