I do use texting as a great way to communicate quickly, but I don't Twitter or anything.

Twitter is an extension of every dumb thought I have, firing it off - Instagram is a little more methodical.

People respond faster to you on a text than an e-mail. Why is that? Why will they ignore an e-mail, but get back to a text?

Now we're e-mailing and tweeting and texting so much, a phone call comes as a fresh surprise. I get text messages on my cell phone all day long, and it warbles to alert me that someone has sent me a message on Facebook or a reply or direct message on Twitter, but it rarely ever rings.

The way people communicate is changing, and no one knows this better than teens. We are using images to talk to each other, to communicate what we're doing, what we're thinking, and to tell stories.

WhatsApp I adore. I use it all the time with my friends.

I like Instagram - it's a good way to keep up with my friends without having to text or call all the time, and I really like Snapchat.
