The table illustrates how often adults in a European country accessed to the internet in a 4-year period, starting from 2006. They are grouped into four categories: daily, weekly, monthly and never.
Overall, it is noticeable that the ratio of daily internet usage rose significantly, while the proportion of adults who never used the internet dropped considerably. There were also some fluctuations in the two remaining groups, both of which showed a downward trend in the final two years.
In 2006, just over one-third (36%) of the adults accessed the internet every day. This figure then increased approximately 5% in the next two years, before experiencing a huge growth to 65% in 2009, peaking at 72% in 2010. Conversely, the percentage of individuals who never used the internet saw a consistent decline throughout the period. Starting with 34%, it continuously declined to 16% during the subsequence two years, followed by only 2% and 1% in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
The fraction of people using the internet three times a month remained stable at 15% at the first two years before falling by 5% in the following year. It then decreased gradually by 3% in the remaining time. Notably, weekly usage experienced a noticeable upward trend in the early years, rising from 15% in 2006 to 21% in 2007, and reaching a peak of 29% in 2008. However, this was followed by a gradual decrease, with the percentage dropping to 25% in 2009 and further to 22% by 2010.
