The line graph illustrates the proportion of individuals using the internet in the UK, the USA, Japan and Germany from 2000 to 2020.
Overall, all countries experienced an upward trend. Furthermore, the figures for the UK, the USA and Japan were almost identical by the end of the period, whereas Germany followed a slower growth pattern.
The USA showed the most notable increase, rising sharply to reach the highest level. In contrast, Germany remained relatively stable between 2000 and 2015 before experiencing a slight increase. Consequently, it started at the lowest point and remained the lowest throughout the period.
The UK and Japan recorded the second and third highest figures respectively. Japan’s figure remained stable initially, but then increased significantly and caught up with the UK. Meanwhile, the UK showed little change at first before rising markedly towards the end of the period.
