He has conducted surveys of 4,907 college students twice annually since 2005, finding that: Text messaging has overtaken e-mail and IM as the main form of communication as 94 percent of students send and receive text messages. About 62 percent of students admitted to texting while in class. Students use cell phones to keep in touch with family and friends with 59 percent texting, 17 percent using voice, 9 percent sending IMs and 7 percent using e-mail.
