Text messaging is now the most popular form of communication among teenagers, according to a survey conducted by Common Sense.
Teenagers overwhelmingly preferred in-person communication six years ago, with almost 1 in 2 saying it was their favorite way of communicating in 2012. But face-to-face conversations have given way to text messages as teens’ preferred form of communication in 2018, with 35 percent saying they prefer texting, compared to 32 percent who say they favor in-person interaction.
