The graph illustrates how the children aged 10-11 spend time on computers and watching televisions have transformed over the past few years.
In the past, children spent more time watching television and less time on computers but now this trend seems to have reversed.
Between 2000 and 2003, the time children spent watching television remained the same, at an average of 21 hours per week. Then this figure fell, reaching a low of 15 hours per week by 2004. Since then, apart from a slight fluctuation, the figures shave stabilised at this level.
Computer use, on the other hand, shows a different trend, starting in 2000 at three hours per week and rising to a weekly figure of 10 hours on 2003. This was then followed by a surge which reached 15 hours per week by 2004 and currently this trend seems to be on increase.
Clearly computer use is becoming more popular than TV viewing.
