My younger brother was learning about analyzation and comprehension of data in his Maths class today... The class were using examples of statistics to find the mean, mode, median and range. However that is of minimal importance...
:)
Anyway, one of the examples was "How many TV's does your family have?"
The teacher went around the class asking students this question... Of course there were students with the usual 2 or 3, but believe it or not, the average number of TV's per family was 4! And considering that 20 years ago, the average was about 1, TV's have come so far! Can you believe it?
As of 2009, more than half the homes in the U.S. had more than 3 TV's... But that definitely proved different for my brothers class... Probably half the class had more than four TV's!
But even taking away the average number of TV's per family, there were students who had 8 TV's in their family... One would say they were lying, but what if they weren't... A TV is probably one of the most popular form of electronics... And phones of course, but you can watch TV on your phone can't you?
What do you think about the incremental rising of TV popularity?
