The table reveals how frequent people in one specific European nation accessed the Internet throughout half of a decade, starting from 2006.
Overall, accessing the Internet had become increasingly popular towards the end of the period, reflected through the fluctuations of all categories. Furthermore, the proportion of people who never used the Internet was remarkably negligible at the end of the period
Regarding those who accessed the Internet every day, this figure witnessed a stable climb, thereby constantly securing the highest position throughout the years. The year 2006 marked the beginning of its upward trajectory, rising continuously from 36% to nearly a half in 2008. Afterwards, this dominant segment kept on increasing to 72% in 2010, doubling its initial figure. As for those who browsed the Internet on a weekly basis, the proportion seemed to vary, creating an inverted V-shape tendency as its data peaked at 29%, after which it dropped to just above one-fifth
The first half of the period recorded a stability in the figure for those who surfed the Internet 3 times per month, accounting for exactly 15% of the population. Since 2008, it experienced a minor downward trend, dropping to 8% and 5% in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Eventually, people who didn’t allocate any time for such leisure activity took up about one-third of the population. Later on, its data constantly declined, especially in the last 2 years when there were just around 1% to 2% of the population rejecting using the Internet.
