Here are some the of strangest ways millennials use technology by Julia Naftulin on Jul 1, 2016, 10:50 AM Advertisement
 Millennials are taking over the world in a very literal way. This year, the demographic became the largest living generation in the United States over the baby boomer generation that once held the title. And in a country with 75.4 million millennials, it's not hard to notice the generation's habits—especially those involving technology. According to a Nielsen survey, millennials cited technology use as the most defining characteristic of their generation, over other factors like music, pop culture consumption, and liberal mindset. Those ages 18 to 35 have tech-based rituals other generations find intriguing, like Snapchatting live events and checking social media anywhere and everywhere — even while on the toilet.

Millennials tend to opt out of cable television services. A study found 26% of millennials have never had pay-TV services, but more than 70% take advantage of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu.  Source: USA Today/Mike Snider
Think twice before calling up a millennial—the age group cited text messaging as their preferred mode of communication over phone calls. From 2008 to 2010, millennials' average phone call time dropped by around 1,200 minutes. At the same time, text messages sent doubled from 600 to over 1,400 texts each month.  Source: Gallup
