The given graph depicts the proportion of people who used five distinct means of communication around the world between 1998 and 2008.
Overall, it is immediately evident that the number of all services witnessed an increase during the surveyed period. Notably, the data of cellular phone service underwent the most significant change among all.
Starting at approximately 15% in 1998, a marginal growth to 20% was reported in the use of landline service, before declining slightly to 19% in the last year. Additionally, about 4% of people utilized the Internet service in 1998, after which there was an upswing from 4% to 21% within the next 8 years.
The figure for cell phone service accounted for 5% in 1998, but later soared dramatically to 76% at the end of the spectrum, making it the highest figure in 2008. Meanwhile, a negligible change can be observed in the percentage of mobile and fixed broadband’s users, both beginning at precisely 0%, followed by an upswing to around 3% in 2008.
