Children's Television viewing

Children's Television viewing b28gQ

The line graph gives the information about the changes of time children used to watch television per day over the sixty-year period from 1950 to 2010. Overall, the upward trend can be seen significantly at the start of the period, while there was a fluctuation before declining minimally at the end. Children spent slightly under thirty minutes watching TV in 1950 before rising gradually to nearly an hour in 1960. The time kids spent watching television increased dramatically to about 4 hours per day in 1980. However, that number did not last long, there was a slight dip to approximately three hours and a half in 1985. The amount of time in watching TV began to rise again and reached a peak of just over 4 hours in 1995. After that was the downward trend, television started to lose children’s attention. The number of hours slowly decreased to be at about 3 hours and a half at the end of the period.
