Many people prefer to send a message rather than to meet with a person or talk on the normal phone.
We have made a survey with 215 young people of the age of 15-17 years. You can see the results on the picture above.
SMS addiction
Sending short messages has become a real addiction. Doctors have already added it to the list of illnesses. Of course, it is not that if you write SMS you must be taken to the hospital. But still, it is a problem.
Of course, SMS has positive sides. One can check information having sent the request, like air temperature; inform somebody about something in a quick way. But it is convenience, not a problem to use mobile phones this way.
The problem is that there are people who can not live without their mobile phones and communicating through short messages. The art of real communication is getting lost; it is being replaced by SMS.
