Oh yeah... my net is working, and I'm networking!

"....So wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older..."
EDM is addictive! Literally!

What do you prefer chat or call?

In olden day, like really old, when there was no phone, the only way people could communicate was by meeting each other. Communication was not restricted to the use of words, but it included expressions, body language and the tone of voice. 
Then Graham came up with telephone, communication now happened conveniently, and without expressions and body language.  
Some Mr. Martin Cooper invented cellular phones in 1970s, which added to the convenience.  
And, Wikipedia affirms..
"SMS messaging was used for the first time on 3 December 1992, when Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old test engineer for Sema Group in the UK[2] (now Airwide Solutions),[3] used a personal computer to send the text message "Merry Christmas" via the Vodafone network to the phone of Richard Jarvis.[4][5]"
The SMS service made our lives more easy. As years passed, brilliant minds kept re-inventing technology, and thus, convenience.
Now, we have messaging apps like Whatsapp, Hike, BBM, etc.   
Communication is easier than ever, and doesn't require the tone of voice now. Mere usage of words is enough. And, our choice words today represent us more than ever. 
I would like to list some other benefits apart from convenience that 'chatting' has provided us with:
  • You can hide your true feelings in a better way because there is no one looking in your eyes or noticing the hesitation in your voice
  • You can totally pretend to be someone you are not, who's gonna know? 
  • You can even couple up with a bunch of friends and flirt with one girl/boy together, without her/him even getting to know about it. Sounds fun, eh?
  • Basically, you can lie easily, about EVERYTHING!


How cool is that? 
Or how lame is that?
You decide for yourself. It's pretty subjective.

P.S.: Deliberate usage of terms like 'cool', 'lame', 'totally', and 'like' has been made in this post so it reads like today's generation, 'as in' we, talk... rather chat.
