SMS= Send Messages Sent or So Much Shorter? “ Beep” ,a handphone rang. The next moment, the user will check the phone and reply the sms. Nowadays, many people are using sms everyday. So, what does sms stand for?
I bet many of my friends, including myself, do not know what it stands for. SMS actually stands for Short Messages Service. Some with humor, may think it stands for So Much Shorter or Singles Meet Single?
Let me ask this question to all handphone owners; How much sms do you use every day, week and in a month?
For myself, I used on average of 20 sms per day, 250 sms per week and most of the time is under 800 sms every month. I’m sure this is some of the teenagers’ usage as well. There are many extreme cases where they used over 2000 sms every month, resulting to a bomb for their bill.
Why some people are not able to use the sms within the limit given and others had exceeded the limit so much that results to a huge bill?
Pro of sms: Convenient, spread information quickly, cheap
Con of sms: weakens language, not focus and results in laziness and huge bill.
What do I mean by weakens language? When teens sms, they would use short forms. Some of the example are LOL( Laugh Out Loud), brb (Be Right Back) , gtg ( got to go) or tml (tomorrow). These short forms hinder them from learning the full form of words and the right grammars. Thus, it weakens their language.
SMS is useful at times, an excellent tool provided one do not overuse it and become obsessed with it. Well, I observed some ‘sms-obsession’ symptoms.-Check your phone every now and then (15 to 30minutes)-playing with your phone-stare at the phone very often-carries the phone around anywhere you go
This list may not be all true, but if you find yourself to have one of the symptoms, be careful! Remember, SMS is just a tool to help you not to harm you.
In the next post, I’ll be summarizing on the features of phone.
