Communication on phone started a long
time ago, but with the current development in technology; phones have become of
great importance and also a source of worry since it is being abused. What is
whatsapp messenger? The first time I heard the name whatsapp, I asked
myself,”what is this new software”. Then the unexpected happened when students
started to rush in for whatsapp phones. It seems they always want to try
something new. People no longer want the phones with television and application
to browse, but a combination with a lot of applications that can satisfy their
appetite for more.
The whatsapp
Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging application which allows you to
exchange messages without having to pay for sms. When students press their phones
as if they are behind a computer, get closer and you will see that messages are
being sent to friends. In addition to basic messaging, whatsapp users can
create groups, send each other unlimited images, video and audio media
messages. For those who don’t use iPhones, BlackBerry, android, windows phones
and some specific nokia phones, perhaps they may be missing out on a way to
save credits.
Those on the whatsapp messanger have
also started missing out on something very important, and that is time. A
communication student at the Ghana Institute of journalism Patrice Amegadzie
says,” the whatsapp messenger enables me to get in touch to friends as soon as
possible and also makes it easy to send tracks, pictures and audio messages at
a lesser cost. I use whatsapp when the time is convenient for me”.
For some communication students, the
situation is different since the application can be installed on a computer or
a laptop with the help of the blue stack software. Another student, Nii Boye
Manasseh who has installed whatsapp messenger on his laptop said,” I can decide
to use two hours on whatsapp messenger. It is good to get information but is
bad when you are too much into it, because it takes much of your productive
time”. Manasseh revealed that, he has spent four hours on whatsapp messenger
before. If a student like Manasseh can spend four hours whatsapping with
friends on his laptop, then you can imagine the number of hours he will spend
if he has a whatsapp phone.
Elizabeth Amoatey uses a whatsapp
phone and had this to say when she was contacted,” people I met ask me if I am
on whatsapp messenger, so I decided to get a whatsapp phone. It waste time and
I can’t calculate the time I spend on whatsapp”. She revealed that she is
addicted to whatsapp since she uses it every day.
My dear reader, technology is to make
us effective and productive. The software will make or unmake you. Please use
it wisely. You can share your thoughts on the subject and also follow the blog
