The table compares the proportions of mobile phone users who used their devices for different purposes in 2006, 2008, and 2010. Overall, all users used their cellphone for making phone calls in nearly all three years mentioned. In contrast, the percentage of mobile phone owners using their phone for playing music and recording videos was in the minority in any of the given years. Interestingly, searching the internet - despite being a relatively new feature - became largely popular later. Regarding the most common uses of mobile phones, all users were reported to use their device for making calls in virtually all years in question. Sending and texting messages ranked second with 73% of users using this feature in 2006, which had steadily grown to roughly fourth-fifths by 2010. Similarly, the percentage of people taking photos with their mobile phones grew noticeably, going from two-thirds initially to 76% in the final year. The remaining features of mobile games were relatively less popular with some exceptions. Standing at 17% and 12% initially, the figures for mobile phone owners who used their device for playing video games and music rose to just over two-fifths and a quarter in 2010. The most striking rises were seen in the percentages of users searching the internet and recording videos on their phones: they both went from zero in 2006 to 41% and 9% respectively in 2008, followed by substantial increases of 32% and 26% in the third year. #task1 243 words, #classwork #Mukhammadali_Issues ⚡️@alisherposts⚡️
