The survey of 2,000 people also found that nearly 70% of the people between 18and 34 prefer sending messages to talking on the phone.
However , people between 18and 34 use the phone only to speak to their families from time to time and just for emergencies(紧急情况) .
More than half of the young people in the survey mentioned that an unexpected call means bad new for them . But not talking on the phone doesn't mean these young people's phones always remain silent—They always share the latest hot news, show photos of great moments and leave voice message in chat groups.

Perhaps now it's time to face up to the power of sending messages. E. A recent survey found a quarter of people aged 18to 34 never answer the phone. |
