The data is in the form of a line graph, which provides information on the proportion of changing patterns of domestic access to modern technology (home computer, CD player mobile phone and internet access) between 1996/97 to 2002/03 in the UK households.
Overall, the percentage change for all technology has been increasing over the given period. The use of CD player, mobile phone and home computer began on 1996/97 while the birth of internet access only started by 1998/99.
Both CD player and home computer increased consistently for the 8 year period. In more detail, in 1996/97, by far the most common technology was the former which accounted for 60% of all households in the UK. Similarly, approximately over a third (30%) has access to the latter.
On the other hand, the mobile phones also became common with nearly 20% of households having access to it on the first years then less than three fourths (70%) by the end of the year, whereas a dramatic rise on the access to internet may be observed from its emergence on 1998/99 of only about a tenth (10%) to almost half (45%) by the end of the period.
