As you can see in the information that I just showed, many people around the woel communucates through this innovate program.
But, like everything else, this program has its advantages and disadvantages:
ADVANTAGES
I think the main advantages s saving. I think the man advantage is that it is almost free, and for most people, it's still being.
It also has other advantages, such as immediacy or being able to send files in addition to text messages.
I think for some jobs this can be very useful, and I think in general can have many applications as imagination people have, but with everything and that, if not for the economy, not bring anything special or worth to highlight.
DISADVANTAGES
On the other hand, is heavy the marking submits to you this little program, the annoying phone all day. It seems to me curious how a program designed to improve communication and facilitate interpersonal relationships, it just does so much damage. Than if connected and do not answer, why send me a message so late if you've connected before, ... in the end this program is assuming some discussions sometimes people, or at least I've heard, and to avoid this, you have to pretend you do not have the phone on, and playing all day and unable to attend to important conversations that some people do not know that you have connected ...
I think you are right. Whatsapp tries to make communication easier, but sometimes it makes understanding so much difficult...
