The graph below shows the number of hours per day on average that children spent watching television between 1950 and 2010.

The line graph illustrates the median amount of television-viewing time spent by the youth between the years 1950 and 2010.

It can be clearly seen from the graph that the figure had climbed up from about 15 minutes per day to approximately one hour per day from 1950 to 1960. However, the statistics of the following 20 years suggested that the number of daily hours spent on tuning in television programs had increased dramatically (from nearly an hour per day to four hours per day). Between 1980 and 2000, it was evident that the proportion of daily television-viewing only experienced minor drops from 4 hours per day to just above 3.5 hours per day. Finally, it seemed like children had started to spend less time watching television as the exposure time to television programs decreased by 30 minutes.

A glance at the line graph reveals that the amount of television time of young watchers had increased significantly and fluctuated over the 61-year period.
