Maybe You Are Sending The Wrong Message With Your Texts

A few research centers from 2011 have found out that Americans send or receive an average of 41.5 messages a day, assuming that includes messages with no clear ending like ‘i’ll pick you up at’, or ‘i think we should’. This points out to the crazy amounts of text messaging, accounting to over 15,000 messages a year!

With all those amounts of texting it may surprise you to find out that you are doing it wrong! Texting was originally called SMS, standing for short messaging service, developed in 1984 by the German GSM corporation. The very first message that was send out in the UK on December 3rd 1992 read ‘Merry Christmas’.

Unfortunately the second message ever sent was ‘new phone, who dis’, and a lot of our bad texting habits can be traced back to 1997 when Nokia became the first manufacturer to produce a mobile phone with a full keyboard. However, it was in 2007 with the birth of the iPhone that helped create the BRB, OMG, LOL world that we live in now! That is one of the ways that people text wrong!
