The line graph highlights data about the number of people who own different numbers of computers (0 computers, 1 computer, 2 computers, 3 computers or more) in the US over a 15-year period between 1997 and 2012. The numbers are measured in percentages.
Overall, what stands out from the line graph is that the number of people who own 1 and 2 computers increased significantly, while the number of people who own 0 computers decreased dramatically, and the number of people who own 3 or more computers went up slightly. Another interesting fact is that at the start of the period the majority of people did not own a computer, but at the end of the period the majority of people own 1 computer. In addition, the highest point was recorded for 0 computers in 1997.
Looking at the details, the number of people who own 1 computer started at just under 30, and it went up remarkably to 50 in 2003. Despite a slight decrease to 47 in 2006, it then recovered to 50 in 2012.
As regards the number of people who own 2 computers, it started at above 7 in 1997. After that point, it saw a significant rise to just over 20 in 2012.
With respect to the number of people who own 3 or more computers, it started at 1 in 1997, which means that the number of people who own 3 or more computers was far less than other categories. After 1997, it grew marginally to 10 in 2012.Regarding the number of people who own 0 computers, it started at just under 70, after which it halved in 2006. Finally, this figure plummeted to 18 in 2012.
