The pie charts below show the devices people in the 18 to 25 age group use to watch television in Canada in two different years.
The following pie charts illustrate how Canadian adolescents and adults used different gadgets to watch
TV
between 2009 and 2019. Looking from an
overall
perspective, it is readily apparent that at the beginning of the period, the largest share was a conventional
TV
and the smallest was a tablet. In comparison,
at the end
of the period, the largest share of all devices was a flat-screen
TV
and the smallest was a conventional device. Looking more closely at the data, we can see that the conventional
TV
segment represented 34% of the devices used in 2009 and experienced a dramatic decline to just 4% in 2019. Desktop computers were used by 18% in 2009, but by 2019
this
sector went down to 12%. In the first year, the use of laptops was 20%, and by the end of the period,
this
percentage had fallen to 12%.
On the other hand
, the use of mobile phones was only 15% in 2009, but ten years later
this
figure had a significant growth of 26%. The share of traditional
TV
and tablet users was just under a tenth and 5% respectively in 2009 and experienced a considerable increase with 27% and under a fifth in 2019.
