The bar chart illustrates the percentage of individuals who had access to the internet in four countries—Canada, the USA, Germany, and Mexico—between 2000 and 2010. The figures are given in percentages.
Overall, internet access increased in all four countries over the ten-year period. Canada consistently had the highest internet penetration, while Mexico remained the lowest throughout the decade.
In 2000, Canada accounted for 45% of internet users, followed closely by the USA at 43%, and Germany at 30%. Over the next ten years, internet usage in Canada rose sharply to 88%. Similarly, the USA experienced significant growth, reaching 77% in 2010.
By 2010, internet usage in Germany had climbed to 69%, while Mexico, despite improving, remained the lowest at 38%. The data reflects a persistent digital divide between Germany and Mexico, although the gap narrowed slightly over
time.
