The two charts illustrate the appliances that young adults in a European country use to watch television programmes in the two years 2007 and 2017.
It can be summarized that there was a pronounced transition in TV viewing habits from older devices towards modern ones. Notably, while conventional TV led in the largest proportion of 18-to-25-year-olds to watch television in 2007, it became the least prevalent TV viewing device after 10 years.
Commencing with traditional appliances, in 2007, conventional TV accounted for 34% of total used devices, which ranked first. However this figure plummeted to only 4% in 2017, documented as the least popular TV viewing habit. Concurrently, although the percentage of laptops was 2% higher than that of desktop computers ( 20% and 18%), in 2007; there was a moderate decrease in the figure for these two devices spending, which both took up 12% in 2017, being only used more prevalently than conventional television.
Regarding mobile phone, tablet, and flat-screen TV, 2017 marked a notable escalation in the proportion of young adults resorting to flat-screen TV, from only 8% to 27%, holding the highest position. This was followed by mobile phones, whose figure was only 1% lower than that of flat-screen TV (26%), in 2017, albeit only 15% in 2007. Similarly, the use of tablets also made up the lowest proportion in 2007, a surge was witnessed, soaring to nearly a fifth of total devices used by young adults in 2017.
