PHOBIA OF YOUTH

 Feature BY HINA HAMEED

                           

                                            Modern technology reflects almost every aspect of our new generation from education up to communication; social networking tools are extensively used like mobile phones, computer, internet etc. Out of all these mobile phone apps like WHATSAPP and VIBER are consider as cream of crop. These chat apps shrinking down our globe; the distances are getting concise and convenient. Though in the field of communication we already have cell phones but a revolutionary social network is now introduced in the form of whatsapp and viber. These chat apps seems landmark step in the world of technology.

                     In today’s busy world, people desire to convey  their messages fastly by spending less amount, in this regard these chat apps are best one by the benefit of free of cost communication for one year and after that with low cost.                                                                        Whatsapp was initiated by American Brain Acton and Ukrainian Jam Koum in the year of 2009 whereas Viber was designed in December, 2010. These apps are only   available for Android phones, Black berry, Nokia series 40, Nokia Asha platform and Symbians. Additionally these chat apps are accessible in variety of languages. Theses fast emerging social apps have multitudinous enjoyers that is 350 million and 200 million monthly active users respectively.

                  These social apps have dramatic impact on our society. On whatsapp and viber accounts, teenagers update their status to show whats going on in their life and share their memorable moments ( pictures ) with their friends. The use of whatsapp and viber seems as “phobia of youth” as through these tremendous apps we can have instant messaging and free calls throughout the world and say BYE BYE to tax charges and package activation.

                                             Our tender seems to have more craze towards these apps instead of mobile network packages( SMS and call packages) because through these apps are more accessible for exchange of pictures , audio messages , videos, tracks and free of cost calls all the time which boost up the perpetual fun in their life. Via these apps people have span of seconds to communicate.

                          Students can share their lectures, audio notes with their classmates. If someone enjoying tour of any picnic place then he/ she can share pictures with other friends easily. We can have free abroad calls with no distortion, no disturbance, easy to use and more reliable.

             All fun stuff is now happening on mobile phones part of reason is that in cell phones we mostly have chat apps, offer private chatting with friends. Although face book is also a platform for social contact but I would rather give data puller tag to whatsapp and viber because for one, it encompasses instant texting offer whole day.  Secondly, these chat apps syncs phone contact s so that it is impossible that an unknown might reach you. The third and the most glaring is that it allows free endless chatting and free calls for one year. Now our teenagers just have couple of clicks to say HI…… HELLO………… to their friends.
