Young Prefer Texting To Calls
This probably isn't a surprise to most people, but kids today often prefer text messaging to making phone calls. The younger they are, the more they like to text message. The older generations, though, are much less interested in this whole texting business, with only 14% of those over 55 saying they prefer texting (I'm actually surprised it's this high). Either way, I'm sure most people expect this trend to continue.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
