This graph shows the popularity of different communicating methods for

teenagers in one US state from November 2006 to September 2009.


Overall, we can see that communicating via text messages had been rising to the
top, while both emails and cell phone calls remained stable. Talking face-to-face
however, had been fluctuating throughout the entire period.
In contrast to this, February 2008 saw a noticeable growth in the frequency of
text messages uses, with it reaching a peak of around 60% of teenagers across the
US state, more than half of talking face-to-face at that time. Face-to-face
communication had been varying between 30% and 40% for the entire 3-year
period. For cell phone calls and emails, however, they remained relatively stable
with some minor fluctuations. The most apparent one was from February 2008 to
September 2009, communicating through emails saw a slow decrease in
popularity to 10%.
