      Notes: Almost three-quarters of Millennial smartphone owners engage in social networking on their devices during a typical week, per the study, which might help explain why mobile social networking represents about 1 in every 7 minutes spent online in the US. Among smartphone owners, Millennials (46%) are also more likely than other generations to watch videos on their devices during a typical week.
