Part Two:
Based on an older video from 2007, called "Did you know 2.0?" it is mentioned that 21-year-olds have either sent or received up to 250,000 emails or instant messages (among other stats related to the number of things they've done such as watched 20,000 hours of tv or talked on the phone for 10,000 hours).
I am not exactly sure how they arrived at these numbers or who exactly they surveyed--21 year-olds of the US or Europe or all of the above? It is unknown, but if those were the figures 10 years ago, then I am sure that the numbers are even higher now.
I'm also not positive if it is known statistically or not, but it sure seems as if younger people these day prefer to text each other or post info on social media sites as their preferred method of communication vs any other means. I don't even know if friends call each other on the phone or if that's a thing anymore.
It used to be that parents would receive a phone call on their landline home telephones, from a nervous-sounding young lad asking to speak to their daughter. But now that nearly every person gets their own cell phone by the time they turn eight-years-old (my own made up statistic, by the way) I imagine that tradition is long gone.
