The line chart illustrates the relative amount of people that used various forms of technology in the UK from 2000 to 2015.
Despite the fact that just a 30% of the inhabitants of the country used internet in 2000, it was the most consumed category, as it kept being for the next fifteen years. On its part, the use of social media started in 2005 with only 2% of users. However, this value dramatically rose up to 80% in 2015, overtaking the rate of broadband holders.
All forms of technology experienced a gradual and –with exception of smartwatch owners- fairly fast increase in the rate of users. The steepest uptrend is the one that describes the ratio of people who had a smartphone, going from 19% in 2015 to 73% in just a lustrum.
Overall, technology users in the UK dramatically increased from 2000 to 2015, with internet continuously being the most popular way.
