The line graph shows the average number of hours a person spent on various kinds of media from 1990 to 2005. The media includes television, the Internet, radio, and printed material. The years are shown in five-year intervals. An average person spent 25 hours a week watching TV in 1990. The hours for TV gradually decreased until 1998, and then dropped significantly to just over 17 hours per week by 2005. The number of hours spent on printed material in 1990 was at 7 hours which continuously fluctuated but then decreased to 2. 5 hours by 2005. Radio started at just under 4 hours in 1990 and slowly increased to just under 5 hours by 2005. The hours spent on the Internet show a different trend. The hours spent on first start to appear in 1993. They then steadily went up from 0 hours to 2. 5 hours by 2001. From 2001 to 2005, the hours show a tremendous increase to about 14 hours. As an overall trend, the number of hours spent on television and printed material decreased over the years, while the number of hours spent on the radio and the Internet increased, although radio did not show tremendous change. The Internet showed the greatest increase and television showed the greatest decrease. It can be assumed that the significant change of the Internet had an effect on watching TV.
