The two charts illustrate 6 types of appliances that people aged 18 to 25 in Canada utilized for watching television in 2019 and 2019.
Overall, it can be seen that the use of traditional TV sets, laptop and desktop computers decreased significantly while the new technological gadgets gained their popularity as television viewing devices.
The ten-year period starting from 2009 witnessed the sharp decline of conventional TV for viewing purposes from 34% to 4%. Laptop and desktop computers experienced the same pattern in which the figures for the former fell from almost a fifth to 12% and the number of the latter shrank by one third from 18% to 12%.

Flat-screen TV jumped from 8% in 2019 to over a forth, making it the top device in terms of television viewing. Increasingly favored by young Canadians, cell phones rocketed from 15% to 26% and tablets underwent an almost four-fold increase to 19% in 2019.
