At some point in time, Philippines was dubbed as the text capital of the world, and we Filipinos send 1 Billion text messages in a day. I find it not hard to believe since even a person that falls below the poverty line has a cellphone, and even a student who always borrows a pen from his seat mate can still spare some amount to buy load for his mobile phone than to buy a pen.
Text messaging has taken the world by storm. In this digital age, compared to e-mail or voicemail, it is one mode of communication that can be easily distributed and be received. But this great advantage is also its disadvantage. Recent study says, that people trust text messages less compared to other mediums of communication, and that lying can be easily done via text than in phone calls.
Personally, I'm not a text person. Because more often than not, some people misinterpret my messages as rude or sarcastic. The absence of emotions compared to phone calls or face to face conversation, does make a difference than reading pure texts. That's why, I seldom send text messages and prefers to call because I think sending multiple messages than making a phone call would cost me more, but that's just me.
Here's an infographic from Online-Education.net showing that texters may be prone to cheating.
And yes, that's me in the picture but I ain't cheating. :P
