In 2009, conventional TV was the most widely used device, with 34% of people using it. This was followed by laptops and desktop computers at 20% and 18% respectively. Mobile phones represented 15%, while flat-screen TVs and tablets were the least popular devices, making up only 8% and 5% of usage.
By 2019, the situation had changed considerably. Flat-screen TVs became the most popular device, rising sharply from 8% to 27%. Mobile phones also increased notably from 15% to 26%, making them the second most used device. Tablets more than tripled, growing from just 5% to 19%.
