People nowadays send text messages more frequently than they talk on the phone. Do the advantages of texting outweigh the disadvantages?

There are a number of inhabitants who prefer sending

text

messages

to having a talk on the mobile

phone

in the present. From my perspective, despite having some drawbacks,

text

messages

are still far more useful than talking on the

phone

. On the one hand, it is undeniable that transmitting via

messages

could bring certain difficulties for the users. To be specific, the main disadvantage of chatting with

people

is that it tends to take a significant amount of precious

time

. The reason behind

this

is that individuals have to wait for the reply until the receivers read the

messages

and revert to a message.

This

. To illustrate, a recent study by Cambridge University in England concluded that nearly 2 hours

on a daily basis rather than those who do not.

In addition

, texting too much could result in some negative effects on health.

For example

, many researches show that using a

On the other hand

, many found

is that

as they feel comfortable.

Secondly

, it is easier to transfer a massive number of data to many

people

by chatting on the

phone

.

For instance

, companies can advertise their product to a vast amount of consumers by sending texts, which is more efficient and saves a lot of

time

. In Conclusion, it is understandable for

to send

frequently. In spite of having some disadvantages, it cannot outweigh the advantages of chatting on the
