Many people today use their phones for sending text more than talking. What are the reasons for this? Are there more advantages than disadvantages?

It is true that the

text

messaging surpasses the

phone

calling by many times. There are two main reasons for that, including the financial and the psychological ones.

This

essay will discuss what are these reasons as well as by how much it is advantageous to

text

compared to making

phone

calls.

Firstly

, despite the fact that the

phone

calls allow the people to get engaged in real conversations and hear someone's voice, they incur some extra costs unlike the

text

messaging.

Moreover

, when speaking over the

phone

it is not possible to alter what has been said, while when the

text

messaging allows you to edit your words before the

text

is being sent.

For example

, the National Data Research in the EU in 2015 has shown that even though the

text

messaging accounted for more than 70% of the digital communication between the EU citizens, it costed 5 times less than the

phone

calling.

As a result

, the

text

messaging was more advantageous than the

phone

calling in terms of money.

Secondly

, there is always a psychological side of the people's preference to

text

rather than make

phone

calls. Unless the both sides of a conversation are engaged in a friendly talk, it is more convenient to send messages while being engaged in a formal communication.

For example

, all the previous studies of the Journal of Psychology have revealed that the people tend to be more reserved in more formal conversations.

Furthermore

, the option to correct what one wants to communicate with another person encourages the people to be more open than when talking directly over the

phone

. In conclusion, the

text

messaging volume will be growing even

further

due to these two main reasons,

such

as the less cost and the option to edit associated with the

text

messaging.

However

, the

phone

talks will continue to be more advantageous between the close friends and the family members.
