Prompt Communications , a digital PR, marketing and social media agency, asked internet users about how they use social media tools and more traditional communications in their daily lives.

According to Prompt, to connect with friends and family the majority of people usually use phones. This answer was chosen by 99% of respondents. But the second position of the rating was achieved by the social network Facebook , which was named the most popular communication tool by 96% of people. At that, Facebook took the lead over SMS (93%) and e-mail (91%).

But, nearly three-quarters (73%) worry that their bosses will view their profiles on social networks, and 71% believe social media is making communication less personal.
