That might be true if you only consider technologically facilitated means of communication, otherwise simple direct speech probably still makes up the largest part of it, just like it did some centuries ago.

Though, strangely enough, only when you count it from the performative side. That is I bet overall more words are spoken each day than written down (or otherwise technically transmitted). On the receiving end, ie. hearing/reading, due to the "broadcast" nature of newspaper, radio, TV and the internet, maybe more communication is technologically facilitated than not. That is more words are read or listened to than heard directly from another person. I wonder if and when that happened.
