The graph provides information about the proportion of homes in the United Kingdom which had access to four types of modern technology between 1994/95 and 2008.
Overall, for all these four items, the percentages showed a clear upward trend. Another notable feature is that the percentage of households with a CD player in the UK was overtaken by that of internet connection in 2008.
In 1994/95, about 48% of homes had a CD player. This figure rose gradually to reach about 90% in 2004/05. This was little change in the percentage after that. The number of households with a mobile phone stood at under 20% and this also increased over the period and reached approximately 80% in 2004. After that, this figure also levelled off.
Turning to houses with internet connections the percentage rose from about 10% in 1998 to just over 60% in 2008. No figures are given for households with DVD players before 2002/03. The percentage rose steeply from around 30% at that time to about 80% in 2004/05. It then continued to increased gradually.
