Certain people communicate only using certain platforms. Granted, it was a little tricky at times. The images of turkeys, cranberry sauce, trees, and happy, smiling faces shared between my friends and family kept us connected over the holiday season, even while hundreds of miles apart. Having just endured another isolated Christmas dinner ( thanks, Covid), I have never been more grateful for instant messaging apps. It’s a way of keeping in touch with friends, family, work colleagues, and casual drinking buddies - without the formality of email, and with an easily accessible record of what was said.Īnd because communication takes place over the internet, it is, for all intents and purposes, free - unlike SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), which often involve expensive fees for sending and receiving messages. Instant secure communication is a basic expectation in the 21st century.
