BBM

Black Berry Messaging! To many a revolution in communication the fact that you can connect to such large amounts of people anywhere and anytime for almost charge in money is just fascinating. Although many have raised the question of how exposed and connected to other people do you have to be? The idea that you are connected to everyone 24 hours 7days a week is just massive and tiring. Although the counter claim is you choose to be that connected to people plus it is useful in a number of ways and is for almost no fee. Almost everyone you see has a BB and is using it to the full extent. From BBMing which is the new verb for using BBM to using the internet everywhere. The BlackBerry has created a competition that will be tough to beat. Especially with it becoming the new teen trend that every teen has to own one in order to connect to their peers and be always up to date. Many parents and doctors are afraid of the dangers of this on our children. From the dangers of always having your eyes stuck to a screen to the fear that human will lose all communication because of this. Effective communication is becoming less and less part of our daily lives we no longer feel the need to see the person face to face but send them a bunch of words on a screen that are cold and have no meaning. A I'm sorry as a text message no longer has the same effect as a sincere apology to the face of the person. People are now avoiding conflict or facing up to things by simply texting the other person I'm sorry or I quit rather than owning up to them. Communication between people should be reestablished yes the BlackBerries are useful but they should not take the place of daily face to face communication
