The line graph presents information on the proportion of computer ownership by households in one European country from 1997 to 2011. Overall, while the figure for people who did not have a computer experienced a significant decline over the period, the reverse is true for those who owned 2 computers and more than 2 computers. Of particular note is that the proportion of people owning only one computer witnessed a modest increase in the first two years, after which it remained unchanged within a decade .
Focusing on the increases first, the figure for people having two computers started at about 7% in the initial year. This figure showed a noticeable growth without any decline throughout the period, thereby reaching its top of 25% in the final year. Individuals who had only one computer exhibited a similar trajectory. Although there was nobody who had only one computer until the year of 1999, it then observed a noticeable rise to about 8% by the last year.
The figure for people possessing no computer bucked the trend. In 1997, it stood out at nearly 50%, a figure that then sank dramatically with some fluctuations, reaching its low of approximately 22% in the final year. As for people who owned more than 2 conputers, it started at above 45%, and it experienced a small growth to 45% in 1999. However, it remained consistent by the final year.
