The pie charts illustrate the devices that people in the 18 to 25 age group used to watch television in Canada in two different years, 2009 and 2019.

Overall, the huge change between 2009 and 2019 was the dramatic decline in conventional TV usage, while flat-screenTVs and mobile phones became significantly more popular among young Canadians. By 2019, no single devicedominated as clearly as conventional TV had a decade earlier.

In 2009, conventional TV was the most widely used device, with 34% of people using it. This was followed by laptops and desktop computers at 20% and 18% respectively. Mobile phones represented 15%, while flat-screen TVs and tablets were the least popular devices, making up only 8% and 5% of usage.

By 2019, the situation had changed considerably. Flat-screen TVs became the most popular device, rising sharply from 8% to 27%. Mobile phones also increased notably from 15% to 26%, making them the second most used device. Tablets more than tripled, growing from just 5% to 19%. In contrast, laptops and desktop computers both fell to 12% each. Most dramatically, conventional TV collapsed from 34% to a mere 4%.
