The line graph compares the amount of computers owned by each family in a certain country of Europe over a 14-year period.
It is clear that the proportion of households which didn’t have computers declined over the period shown, while the percentage of one-computer-only and two-computer households increased. The figure for families with three or over computers remained stable within 14 years.
In 1997, around 48% of households had no computers, compared to about 44% households owning more than three computers. The figure for two- computer domestic possession was approximately 5% and two-computer families accounted for a negligible percentage. Just two years later, the amount of over-three computer owners overtook that of no-computer owners as the primary group.
Between 1997 and 2011, the figure for no-computer families experienced a general fall, dropping by nearly 28% by 2011. By contrast, the proportion of domestic two-computer and one-computer ownership gradually increased during this time, reaching around 29% and 10% respectively until 2011. There was a slight fluctuation in the percentage of households possessing three or more computers before mid-1999, and then stayed at this level for the rest of the period.
