The three pie charts illustrate the distribution of book

sales

by genre over a span of four decades, from 1972 to 2012.

Overall

, it is evident that the popularity of adult

fiction

significantly increased during

this

period,

while

the

sales

proportions of travel books, biographies, and other genres experienced a decline. In 1972, adults'

fiction

comprised 20% of total book

sales

, which rose dramatically to 25% in 1992, eventually surging to 45% by 2012. Meanwhile, children's

fiction

started strong at 25% but saw a decline to 20% in 1992, and only partially recovered to 25% in the final year.

This

indicates a shifting preference among readers towards adult

fiction

, with children's books losing some market share

initially

, yet stabilizing towards the end of the period.

Conversely

, the genres of biography, travel, and others exhibited a downward trend over the same timeframe. Biographies

initially

accounted for 15% of book

sales

in 1972 but experienced a slight increase to 18% in 1992 before plummeting to 10% in 2012.

Similarly

, travel books were represented by 20% in 1972 but dropped to 15% in 1992 and

further

declined to 8% by 2012. The category labelled 'others' began at 20%, rose to 22%, and culminated at 12%, reflecting a dwindling interest in these remaining genres in juxtaposition to the rising appeal of adult

fiction

The teaching of Information Technology is a standard part of the school curriculum in most secondary schools. The same is now happening in primary schools,where children as young as six are learning how to use computers. However, there is a danger that IT skills are being taught at the expense of more basic skills.
It is no surprise that the teaching of IT has become a standard part of the school curriculum in most secondary schools, and is now being introduced in primary schools. However, there is a growing concern that IT skills are being taught at the expense of more basic skills. I do not agree with this viewpoint and believe that studying IT does not affect the progress of studying other sciences.
