Internet Usage in Taiwan by Age
The graph shows changes in the age profile of Internet users in Taiwan
between 1998 and 2000. (Oración Introductoria)
The main users of the Internet in Taiwan are young adults between 16 and 30
years old. In 1998, they accounted for more than half of all users. In 1999 the
number dropped slightly to 45%, but even in 2000 they were the biggest
group. (Describe grupo más grande)
The second biggest group of users is aged between 31 and 50. They made up
41% in 1998, falling slightly to 37% in 2000. When combined with the 16-30
age group, over 94% of users in 1998 were between 16 and 50. (Describe grupos
con menor presencia)
However, this number is dropping steadily as more children and older users
log on. In 1999, the number of children online quadrupled from 2% to 8%,
and it continued to increase in 2000. There were similar increases for older
users, rising from 4% in 1998 to 10% in 2000.
In summary, while adults between 16 and 50 still represent the great majority
of Internet users in Taiwan, their share is declining as more children and older
users join the web.
