Poll: Teens, adults separated by 'IM gap'
According to the AP-AOL poll:
Almost three-fourths of adults who do use instant messages still communicate with e-mail more often. Almost three-fourths of teens send instant messages more than e-mail.More than half of the teens who use instant messages send more than 25 a day, and one in five send more than 100. Three-fourths of adult users send fewer than 25 instant messages a day.Teen users (30 percent) are almost twice as likely as adults (17 percent) to say they can't imagine life without instant messaging.When keeping up with a friend who is far away, teens are most likely to use instant messaging, while adults turn first to e-mail.About a fifth of teen IM users have used IM to ask for or accept a date. Almost that many, 16 percent, have used it to break up with someone.-----------------------
I think that Instant Messaging is one of the most efficient means to communicate. If you haven't embraced some form of messaging service yet, you should do so.
