The table below shows the consumer durables (telephone, refrigerator, etc.) owned in Britain from 1972 to 1983. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
The provided table represents information on the percentage of consumer devices owned by British people from 1972 to 1983. Generally speaking, the most popular electronic item in Britain was television, whereas the less owned household appliances were dishwasher and video which had been introduced to the British families later in 1978 and 1983 respectively.
As is observed from the given data, almost one-third households in Britain had central heating machines in 1972 and the percentage increased each year and reached to 64% in 1983, which shows that the central heating machine users almost doubled in 12 years. Again, Television was the most common household equipment as 93% households had them. This ration reached to 98 percent with slight increase year by year. However, the video was introduced in 1983 when only 18% houses had them. Then Vacuum cleaner, refrigerator and washing machines were three most popular household appliances after TV which was owned by 70% house owners in 1972 and the percentages increased to over 90 after 10 years.
Interestingly, dishwashers were very less popular as only 3% families owned them initially in 1978 and their user's percentages reached to only 5 in 1983. Finally, the percentage of houses that had telephones was only 42% but with their popularity, this percentage reached to 77 after 12 years.
