Great insight. As a boomer, Ive seen these changes. I resisted at first,but now I enjoy the flexibility of comunications that are now here.These new techs allow one to connect to the world and friends.Now,when I dont know what to do, I know what to do.

I’d argue that most 15-25s use facebook more regularly than email – most check email once a day unless expecting something, but facebook is opened a lot more than that, and for longer at a time.

I love these generation *blank* posts because I’m fascinated by the subject. Being born at the very end of the 70’s, I fall right at the latter part of the generation X area. So I’ve had the privileged to grow up with the 28.8 communication, and yet am still young and enjoying the latest ways to connect.

Thanks for displaying great visuals to bring you point out in a clear, engaging fashion. Eric.

Tanner, it’s his own use (“here’s what my communication habits are like and how I use the above.”) though a study done like that would be a nice thing indeed.

Nice article. As a tweener splitting the boomers and gen x, it’s fun to keep up with the Gen Y crowd and then have a younger friend say “Wait, YOU’RE on facebook?!”

Great insight. There is a lot more communication going on now than in the boomer days!

One question I would raise: is the phone call more immediate than the text message? I would say that Gen Y seems to use them in the opposite fashion: texting is the most immediate and urgent, phone call 2nd most.

I think this is because a text message is short, does not require a conversation require additional pleasantries. A phone call is only more immediate if you can reach someone on a voice call more immediately than you can reach them via text message, and I don’t think that’s true with Gen Y.

I love the way you’ve framed this – great perspective & thanks for sharing

Eric
