  • I think messaging has made us all addicted and its not only fun, this is about the convenience attached with it. Even the the messaging on social site. You cannot always write an email or call a friend to ask about him. Leaving a message on his wall would do that decently. Similarly how many time we have asked our friends to pick us up while sitting in conference room. We all want convenience with the speed. So it gives us both very effectively.
  • Messaging have become the most easiest way of communication, sharing ideas, knowing about people’s psychology, their living standards, transferring files and data instantly.. This isn’t a platform for younger generation but is also popular among old age people.. So it has become widely spreaded throughout the world.. I guess in future people will stop verbal communication and start communication through these messages..
