Band 6+: The chart below shows the percentage of households in a European country that had access to three types of technology (Internet, Mobile phones and computers) between 2000 and 2020.

The data displays the accessibility of 3 different types of technology in a European country between 1990-2010.

Overall, all 3 types of technologies have increased significantly throughout the years, with the exception that internet access started around in the 2000’s. Computers were the most widely accessible technology throughout the 2 decades, while mobile phones experienced the most dramatic growth. Internet access, although started late, still increased considerably in 2000 to 2010.

In 1990, a very low amount of people owned a computer, about 2 to 3%, while nobody had mobile phones at the time. Over the next 10 years, computer ownership increased gradually to 15%, for mobile phones, on the other hand, remained almost 0% ownership in 2020.

In the next decade, all 3 types increased, some more rapidly than the other. Computers had their accessibility increased from 15% to almost 80 by 2010, mobile phones skyrocketed from almost 0% to about 57% by 2010, internet access also started to rise rapidly to 20% by 2010.

In summary, computers remains the dominant technology throughout 1990 to 2010, while mobile phones and internet access begin to increase significantly in 2000 to 2010.
