The chart shows about computer ownership in the US from 1997 to 2012.Overall, it is clear that the figure of computer owners who had from 1 computer to 3 or more computers in the US followed an upward trend over the period, whereas the opposite pattern could be observed in the case of people that did not own a computer, decreasing substantially.
According to the graph, the percentage of computer owners who had only one in the country went up marginally from under 30% to 50% between 1997 and 2003, while this figure then saw fluctuations and stayed without change until 2012. If we look at owning two computers, it rose noticeably from around 5% to just above 20% over the whole span. However, the figure for owners who had 3 or more computers remained stable at 2% from 1997 to 2000, while this figure followed a significant rise to 10% until the last year.
In contrast, starting at just under 70%, the share of individuals without a computer in the US possessed the highest rank in the initial year and then reduced to approximately 35% over the first half. Over the second half, this figure continued decreasing to just under 20%.
