The column graph depicts the proportion of Taiwanese internet users categorising them in
four different age groups between 1998 and 2000. Generally speaking, young Taiwanese
internet users were significantly higher than the internet users from other age groups.
In 1998, 53% of the total Taiwanese internet users were between 16 and 30 years old.
This figure was significantly higher, by 12% than those aged 31-50 years old. Internet
usage in minors and those over 50 years old were less than 5%.
Next year, the percentage of internet users dropped by 2-8%, except for those less than 15
years old. Their rate raised by fourfold and for those over 50 years old, doubled. In 2000,
the figures for age groups 16-30 and 31-50 went down slightly by 1-2%, whereas it
increased at the same rate for those aged less than 15 and over 50.
Based on the information given, it can be deduced that the proportion of age groups using
the internet in Taiwan minimally changed in a span of 3 years. It is also noticeable that
while internet usage in teens and adults dropped slightly, the figures for both children and
elders grew by almost twofold.
