The given chart provides information about the daily Internet use of five different age groups in the UK for the period 2003 to 2006.
Overall, it is clear that although figures were consistently higher at the end of the period observed than those at the start among all age groups, the youngest age group surfed online most, while the numbers were significantly lowest for the elderly.
In 2003, the youth group aged 16 to 24 showed online use on a daily basis of 80%, moreover, that figure rose to almost 90% in 2006, despite a surge of nearly 100% in 2005. The people in the groups 24-44 and 45-54 years old both represented a rather steady growth of persons involved with the Internet seven days a week throughout the period. Whilst the slightly younger category started out with half in 2003, proportions showed an yearly increase of 10 percent points, peaking at 80% in 2006. The slightly older group reached the same number in 2006, they, however, started with a higher number of 60% in 2003.
The over 65 years olds don’t provide information for 2003, for the following years, figures were below 20%. The group 55-64 doubled the persons being on the Internet from 25% in 2003 to 50% in 2006
