The table compares the proportion of households in Country X that owned five types of electronic devices in 2000, 2010 and 2020.
Overall, the data shows a clear upward trend in the ownership of all devices, with particularly dramatic increases seen in mobile phones and internet connections. By contrast, television ownership was already high at the beginning of the period and grew only marginally, while tablets only became common in the final year.
In 2000, mobile phones were owned by only a quarter of households, but this figure rose steadily to nearly all families (97%) by 2020, representing the sharpest rise among all devices. Likewise, internet access, which was relatively rare at just 10% in 2000, expanded rapidly to cover 90% of households by the end of the period.
Computer ownership also grew substantially, rising almost threefold from 30% to 85%. Television ownership remained the most widespread throughout, starting at 88% and edging up slightly to 98% in 2020. Tablets were not yet available in 2000 but became common within two decades, being owned by 70% of households in 2020.
