The graph below shows the percentage of households with different kinds of technology in the U.S. from 1995 to 1999. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph compares the proportion of six household appliances in the U.S. over a period of 4 years.
It is clear that
washing machines are by far the most popular appliance among US residents. By contrast
, the coverage of the Internet and DVD players was relatively low over the period shown.
In 1995, 60% of the US population had a washing machine at home, and this
figure rose continuously over time, reaching 80% by 1999. Computers came in second place, with 40% of the population owning one at that time. However
, the number of phones increased significantly over the four years by around 50% and overtook the position of computers after 1998.
The percentage of people with Internet access at home rose steadily and slowly in the first three years, and since 1998 a sharp increase of around 20% can be seen. The sole drop occurred between 1995 and 1996 on DVD players, but since then
this
figure has increased again.Submitted by xiexue1223 on
