The bar chart demonstrates the percentage of children who watched TV from 1998 to 2008. The overall trend of the percentage shows a slight decrease before a dramatic increase.

From 1998 to 2004, the percentage of children who watched TV decreased gradually from a peak of 80% to a nadir of 50 %.Then it remained constant at the lowest proportion of 50% from 2004 to 2006. After the figure remained stable in two years, it increased dramatically to approximately 80% from 2006 to 2008.

One of the main reasons of the drop of percentage of children watching TV was the rapid development in personal computer. Compar ing with computer, TV was more like a stupid machine. As Internet was becoming global and popular, people could play network games, watch movies and videos, talk with friends and families with computers. On the other hand, introduction of digital TV and cheaper pay TV resulted in increase in the percentage. High quality pictures with digital made TV popular in children. And less payment for TV was a main reason for parents buying a TV for their children.
