Communication

There are some negative implications to using SMS, rather than regular voice conversations:

• It is hard to say a lot in SMS
• they can often be unclear if written too informally
• they can be perceived wrongly e.g sarcasm can not be understood in texts.
• It is a lot more simple to explain things in person
• Social life is affected
• It makes things more impersonal as you can send to many at the same time, rather than speaking to one person especially.
• Texts can be seen as a lazy way of communication
