According to the line graph, the percentage of hiking was first recorded in 1980 at exactly 20%, then it dramatically went up to 40%. After that, this rate sharply increased to its highest point at 80%. This is followed by watching TV, which started the highest percentage at 60%. Afterwards, TV viewers slightly rose to 70% in 2000, and then slowly declined to around 65% in the last year. Whereas the elderly spent time surfing the internet at the lowest point in its beginning year, accounting for approximately 5%, it gradually increased to nearly 17% in 2000. Finally, it significantly went up to exactly 50% in 2010, which surpassed the amount of theater. Likewise, the number of reading people moderately escalated from 30% in 1980 to 40% in 1990, on the contrary there was a slight decline to 20% in 2000. Then, it skyrocketed to 60% in the final year.
On the other hand, the proportion of theater markedly went down to 30% in 1990, on the contrary it gradually climbed to 40% in the following ten year. Moreover, there was a slow increase to merely above 40% at the end of the period.
