ANSWER
The bar graph depicts/illustrates the percentage of Taiwanese Internet users in terms of their
age from the year 1998 to 2000. As is presented in the graph, the majority of the Internet
subscribers in Taiwan throughout the time period was between the ages of 16 and 50. However,
this percentage tended to decrease and the Internet user’ ratio from younger and aged people
increased.
According to the given data, more than half of Taiwanese Internet users were between the ages
of 16 and 30 in 1998. The age group of 31 to 50 years old accounted for 41% of all Internet
users. Only a minority of persons above the age of 50 or under the age of 15 accessed the
Internet this year.
In the following year, the proportion of younger and older clients climbed to 8%, while the
figure for the remaining groups declined slightly. A similar pattern was observed in 2000, with
senior internet users increasing to 10% while the percentage of the Internet subscribers aged 16
to 50 years reduced by 1% to 2%.
According to the data, the percentage of Taiwanese of all ages who use the internet has been
relatively stable over the last three years. It's also worth mentioning that the younger and senior
citizens' needs towards internet usages extended.
