Overall, the bar graph depicted that the position of Google was stable and unchanged, but the position of Facebook was consistently gaining grounds from 2011 to 2016. There was no decline for this techno corporation. Facebook started with the market value of 7000 merely in 2011 and consistently earned profits up to 20,000 till 2016. The position of Apple stock values was fluctuating like below 5000 in 2011 and suddenly earned remarkable profits in the year 2012 i.e. more than 30,000 then again fell to 7000 in 2013 and in this way keep fluctuated in 2014 with steadily increment of 13,000 but again fell in 2015 and 2016.

If we compare the expenditure incurred on both the services, we analyse mobile phones were gaining their grounds substantially throughout the decade. On the other side, the popularity of residential or landline phones was continued to fall. Undoubtedly, landline services expenses started with an enormous amount of $690 in 2001 as compared to mobile services which started merely at $200. Also, after following first five years, there was an intersection point between residential and cell phone expenditure services met at the same record in 2006 i.e. $550. But soon cell phone toppled and overcome the popularity of Landline. Then cell phones expenses substantially rose up to $700 in 2009 and much higher $750 in 2010.
