According to the survey we did with 1 ,500 teenagers, texting messages is the most popular

way of communication among teens. More than half of the participants say they prefer texting

to talking on the phone, because it's easier and more comfortable. They rank video chats

as the second most popular method. Teens love it because they don't have to change places

for a face -to -face interaction with their family or friends. They can see them on their

smartphones whenever they want. The survey also shows that teens use social networks for

sharing their opinions more than uploading music or videos. Finally, they use applications

mostly for practicing their lessons and improving a foreign language.
