On the above statistic, by daily use, it's nearly three times more popular than phone calls. As we can realize that young people tend to send messages or do texting every day, rather than making a phone call to their friends and family. This situation would be happened because they think that texting is more convenient than phone call as sometimes there will be something that they may hard to speak out or express, so that they feel like texting instead of calling. 

Besides that, based on the observation, websites are much smaller than social networks.
Even the most popular site among teens—BuzzFeed—has fewer daily visitors than any network or app in the graph. (Even Beats, which is considered a tiny music service, has more daily users than any website in the survey.) The reason young people obsess over Facebook or other social media is that they think Facebook is the newspaper, and websites are the authors.

In conclusion, nowadays, the young people would like to do texting, rather than making phone call. Moreover, as mobile attention flows to apps and away from webpages, young people are more obsessed to social media.
