Results: The authors anonymously online and offline interviewed 35 people aged 18-44. The ratio of male and female was 1:4. According to the level of education, 4 people (12%) had secondary and secondary specialized education, 12 (34%) had incomplete higher education, and 19 (54%) had higher education. The largest proportion of respondents were young people aged 23-29 years (43%). Then, in decreasing order - 18-22 years old (26%), 30-35 years old (20%), 36-44 years old (11%). Among the respondents, most of all were those who communicated offline for more than 4 hours a day - 16 people. Young people who preferred direct contact and virtual communication for 2-4 hours a day were equally divided (15 people each). At the same time, in the case of communication less than 2 hours a day, virtual communication prevailed (15 people). The vast majority of respondents preferred offline communication.
