My opinion 
it reflects the idea of how media is going more towards e-media. As how most young teenagers are using the internet reflecting how businesses/media institutions would advertise the products on the internet if they are targeting a teen audience. Furthermore it shows the effects of convergence as how people are using the smartphones more due to other apps being available on the phone. in addition it could show how people are using e-media more reflecting how other media platforms are going into decline.
