       The pie charts show how much time, in percentages, was spent on activities in an American office in the years 1980 and 2000.

　　The data indicates that in 1980 half (50%) of the time was spent working on the phone (30%) or with paper documents (20%). Face to face communication, meetings

　　and other activities constituted almost half (48%) of the rest of the time. Only 2% of the day was spent on computers.

　　By 2000 the American office had changed. Computers took nearly one third (30%) of the working day. The use of paper documents and working on the phone reduced to just over one quarter of the time (10% and 17% respectively). Other activities remained stable at 15% but the introduction of new activities, such as email (8%) was added to the office day. Face to face communication also remains the same at (14%) but meetings dwindled to just 6% of the time.
