Supplementary notes

* The source indicates: "The source of this information is the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (OLS). The OLS is a multi-purpose survey developed by ONS for use by government departments, other public bodies, charities, academics and the media. It provides a fast, cost effective and reliable way of obtaining information on topics too brief to warrant their own survey."
** The Opinions and Lifestyle Survey is carried out by interviewing a nationally representative sample of households in Great Britain. About 1,800 households are sampled each month and estimates are subject to sampling variability, as are those from all sample surveys.
Data for years previous to 2015 published earlier by the source.
*** Data before 2015 was divided in two categories. The one represented here included "Other computer software and upgrades" and did not include "Video games software and upgrades." Data for 2015 includes both categories: "Video games software, other computer software and upgrades (including downloads)."
