Unit 14 P6

How texting can affect out social life 


Texting is faster than calling someone since you can just type it and then someone will receive it and they will know what to do or where to go but there are many problems with texting:
Sometimes your friend has changed there number and it doesn't tell you tat he has received the message
it's much more lazy than phoning someone 
Sometimes your provider is being slow and messages takes a long time for people to receive it 

But it has many advantages:
You can text people from around the world it doesn't have to be a couple hours away  
It is very brief and better than having a long conversation on a call
It uses less of your credit because a cal can last like 10 mins but a text can just tell someone something quickly 


But this can affect your social life because if your texting someone its very brief and can make you distant to your friends compared to if you phoned someone and they can hear you but in a text it's just letters and this makes people lazy 

Also cyber bullying is an issue since someone can text you from an unknown number and bully you over texting this is very bad since your phone can't tell you who it is and this forces you to change number or something like that  because they person who is bullying doesn't have to face who their bullying so its so easy to do compared to physical bullying you have to be close to who your bullying
