The graph below shows the changing patterns of household access to modern technology in the UK.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line chart illustrates changes in the proportion of UK households that had access to four different types of modern technology over the period from 1994/95 to 2008.
Overall, access to all four technologies increased across the period. CD players were the most common technology in UK homes for most of the timeframe, although mobile phone ownership overtook CD players by the end of the period, while internet access remained the least widespread.
In 1994/95, 60% of UK households owned a CD player, which was far higher than the figure for mobile phones, at under 20%. DVD players and internet connection were almost non-existent at this point. CD player ownership rose steadily to a peak of over 90% by 2006/07, before dipping slightly to 92% in 2008. In contrast, mobile phone access saw the sharpest growth, starting at 18% and surging to 95% in 2008, making it the most popular technology.
DVD player and internet access both began to grow from the late 1990s, reaching 82% and 75% respectively by 2008, though internet consistently had lower household penetration than DVD players after 2000/01.
