The two pie charts show the types of communication used in 1962 and in 1982.
In 1962: P-phone-35%; C-computer-15%; L-letter-50%
In 1982: P-60%; C-30%; L-10%
T h e percentages exhibited in the two pie charts compare different means of communication used
in 1962 and 1982. The three media surveyed are: phone, telephone and letter.
It is apparent from the left pie chart that letter writing was the most popular form of communication in 1962, taking up 50% of the total. However, its use decreased dramatically after that. By 1982, this figure dropped to only 10%, the smallest of that year’s figure. According to the left chart, we can see that during this same period, the use of phone and computers both increased significantly .
In 1962, the use of the telephone just occupied 35% and the computer was the least used form of the three (15%). In 1982, the telephone, with a percentage of 60% , has become the most used form of communication. Similarly, the use of computers doubled to 30% .
O verall, we can see some important changes in the forms of communication used during the two
