The bar chart illustrates how many people from four different age groups used cell phones in four distinct contexts.
Overall, the frequency of mobile phone use is inversely proportional to age. Noticeably, public transportation was almost where people used their phones most of the time, whereas the reverse was true for family dinners.
To elaborate, the proportion of 18-29 years old people who spent time using mobile phones when commuting on public transportation was the highest, at 90%, compared to about 80%, 50%, and 20% of the 30-49, 50-64, and 65+ users, respectively. By contrast, the smallest percentages were seen in family dinners, varying merely more or less 10% across all the examined age ranges.
Regarding streets and restaurants, 30-49-year-olds were the age using cell phones the most in these situations, with around 85% and 80%, in that order. Meanwhile, 80% and 40% were the shares of young adults and people between the age of 50-64 using their phones on the streets, respectively, exceeding the figures for restaurants by a same gap of 10%. Finally, the proportion of the elderly using cellular phones in these two locations was similar, at only 10%.
