Given are two charts, the first of which is a table that provides information concerning the number of internet users in five European nations, namely “Switzerland”, “Germany”, “Spain”, and “the UK” during three periods of time, while the second is a pie chart describing Internet shopping in the aforementioned countries in 2004. Overall, the usage of internet was quite different in those states. (Overall, there is a correlation between the number of internet users and online shopping.)
Looking at the table, it can be discerned that the number of the Internet users in all five nations saw an increase between 1995 and 2004. Specifically, in the UK, this number increased sharply and ended twice as high at the end of the aforementioned period. In Germany, the figure for internet users increased from five to fourteen million people. As for the remaining three nations, the increase was slightly less pronounced.
Moving on to the pie chart, it is clear that the UK represented almost one-third of Internet shopping in Europe in 2004, whereas Spain saw a slightly lower percentage at 28%. The prevalence of online shopping in Germany and France was similar with only 2% difference. Lastly, Switzerland was in last place at 8%.
In conclusion, the prevalence of internet shopping matched to the large number of internet users in the UK. However, this trend wasn’t followed by the other nations.
