The two illustrations above provide information concerning the use of cell phones over a 14-year time span. The graph shows data collected by Jenny at her school for research conducting purposes, while the chart presents the overall percentage of mobile phone ownership estimates, nationally, over the same period.
The Diagram supplies input of cell phone possession rates by students and parents of students at Jenny’s school between the years 2002-2016. By studying the chart, a continual increase in the number of people possessing cell phones at Jenny’s school can be observed. The number of parents using phones over the indicated timeframe has gradually grown. Similarly, a rise in cell phone ownership by students can be noticed as well. The same can be inferred when inspecting the table as it also signals a growing number of people owning phones over the same period.
A close examination of both figures reveals a peak in the number of people acquiring cell phones in the year 2016. With a high rate of 96% nationwide, 75% of students, and approximately 80% of parents of students at the school owned mobile phones in 2016. The lowest percentage of phone possession was recorded in 2002 with only 60% of people, statewide, holding phones. In the same way, at Jenny’s school, the statistics pinpoint a small ratio of parents owning phones in 2002, with a rate of less than 50%, and only about 1% of students had mobile phones in the same year. However, the number of students holding phones began to rise gradually starting from about 10% in 2006 and ending with 25% in 2012. After that, a surge in rates of students’ phone ownership was evident in the year 2012 and it continued to grow rapidly until it reached a peak of 75% in 2016.
In conclusion, the number of people owning phones grew and got bigger within a timeframe of 14 years at Jenny’s school as well as nationally.
