The graph below gives information about household computer possession in one European country between 1997 and 2011.

The line chart illustrates how household computer possession changed in one European country from 1997 to 2011. During the period, the

number

of

households

possessing one computer only, two

computers

as well as

three or more

computers

increased, but it was the

number

of

households

with three or more

computers

that stood out as it was far higher than the

number

of others, rising from about 42 to around 44.

However

, the

number

of

households

having two

computers

saw a significant growth from nearly 5 in 1997 to just below 30 in 2011. The

number

of

households

with one computer was always the lowest, no more than 10 during the whole period.

By contrast

, the

number

of

households

without

computers

experienced a dramatic fall between 1997 and 2011. From approximately 50, the largest figure at the beginning, there was a stable decrease of 10 until 2005, when it started to rise to the peak of 40, followed by a considerable drop by 2007.

Finally

, it ended at just over 20, which was smaller than the

number

of

households

with three or more

computers

and two

computers

.

Overall

,

it is clear that

the total

number

of

households

with

computers

grew during the 14 years.
