The line graph illustrates the proportion of household owning computers in the US, Japan and France between 1995 and 2015.
Overall, these electronic devices rose substantially in all three countries, with the US maintaining the highest figures, while Japan recorded the fastest upward trend throughout the period. France, despite beginning at a relatively high point, grew more slowly compared to its counterparts.
The US commenced with a significant figure at over 40% in 1995, and by 2015, it had soared to an universal adoption of approximately 90%. It also highlighted a stable increase in overall ownership throughout the entire period, although it began to decelerate in 2005. In contrast, Japan displayed a significant surge in growth during this period.
In 1995, France began at a higher level than Japan at 20% while Japan lagged behind at 10%. Despite this, Japan experienced a rapid expansion starting from 2000, eventually surpassing that of France in mid 2002. It continued to climb between 1995 and 2005, and reached nearly 80% by the end. In the meantime, France maintained a moderate but consistent progress all throughout, peaking at just over 60%.
