SMS ...

Millions of people use mobile phones , But few actually know their

birth, lack of curiosity or because they simply disinterested on
origins of an object that has changed the way people communicate
of entire generations.

Call in mobility is one of the achievements that changed radically

daily habits of millions of people around the world.
This object coveted a few years ago but now common use has been


invented by Martin Cooper director of research and development of
Motorola, who made his first phone call from a mobile phone April 3, 1973, but only after 10 years, the company decided to produce a very expensive machine that time cost about $ 4000.

One of the most popular and fastest growing is the sending of SMS. SMS the word (acronym for Short Message Service, Short Message Service) is commonly used to denote a short text message sent from one phone to another.

"The story of the first SMS was sent December 3, 1992 from a computer to a mobile phone on the Vodafone GSM network and the English text of the message was MERRY CHRISTMAS" The first SMS from phone to phone was sent instead to 'beginning of 1993 an intern from Nokia.

The main perceived benefits of the SMS, at the base of the extraordinary diffusion of this service as a communication system, there is a low cost compared to a

long phone call (often not actually benefit, because a conversation SMS consists of several text messages at a later date, in response to one another) and the possibility of asynchronous communication,

ie to read the message at any time after receipt .
This form of modern communication and efficiently often, in my opinion
carries to a growing gap of communication relationships between individuals
real as you delegate to the simple but effective text message with the task of

replace our emotions. The report that is created with text messages exclude

emotions that transpire from facial expressions and language that expresses
each posture, instead of the typical face-to-face, which
that is deeper and more rewarding.
E 'now in common use around the world get the best wishes in a quick and not very challenging
with a simple SMS, proposing the replacement of traditional paper-based communications
by sending SMS, immediate and efficient



addiction, withdrawal and insomnia ...


As with any compulsive behavior, the need to receive or send messages
can become a constraint that affects and interferes with everyday life.
In fact, switching from normal to the overuse of the phone and messages,
that you spend too long in this business, and from overuse is
comes to addiction. Therefore, when you can not communicate with
phone - because it is empty, broken, or because "the customer is not reachable at the time
" - The person can go into withdrawal symptoms, just as
happens with drugs and alcohol, characterized by anxiety attacks and mood swings
, sometimes Insomnia, of course, these are dimensioned borderline cases.

The use of SMS has spread very quickly throughout the world. A
half of 2004, the annual traffic volume worldwide was around 500 billion SMS
and the growth of the phenomenon is impressive when you consider that in 2000
posts were about 17 billion . In 2008, however, were made about 4.1 trillion text messages. The most widespread use of the service is found among young people, particularly in urban areas
