Sms the death trapp ^^

in #statistics5 years ago

6.1 trillion SMS messages are sent in a year
I suspect this figure has decreased since i checked last , there is no denying that SMS is a very popular form of communication.
This equates to roughly 190,000 messages per second - that blows my mind!
Nowadays, communicating via apps such as WhatsApp/discord/messenger are a viable alternative because they are free and only require an internet connection.

  • How texting fits into the current mobile, tech, and digital landscapes
  • A recap of figures from using sms
  • How many texts people send in 2018
  • And what all this means for average people like you and me, as well as for businesses trying to find a competitive edge

Ready? Okay, let’s do this.

  • People text every day for a hundred reasons, and you’ll often see people texting multiple times a day*. O.o for noo good reson.. IF you ask me^^
    Sms is also useful for bussnies No less than 80% of professionals say they sms for business purposes; a tool to schedule meetings, flush out ideas, and get work done!!!

Parents do it to reach their kids who barely answer calls ;) :P me included

Why do people sms so much?

Texting’s quick, it’s easy. You can send a million messages because every major carrier has an unlimited messaging plan..

sigh, think of the one WHO must read/respond..siigh.. ;)

sending me 6 sms in rapid follow, will NOT, make me respond anyyy faster.. FYI ^^

How many sms do people send?

18-24 y.o. sent and received about 128 text messages per day
25-34 y.o. sent and received about 75 text messages per day
35-44 y.o. sent and received about 52 text messages per day
rest my case...


But every single person isn’t going through that many texts per day. The high-volume users - like chatty teens and hyperconnected adults - make up the bulk of this usage.

What do these numbers mean?

They mean people are still texting more and more, in one form or another. In fact, for the first time, even teenagers say texting is their most preferred way to communicate 35% compared to the old winner of in-person (32%). For adults, texting has been #1 for at least six years.

I thinkI could easily be a hermit as well, what was rally crazy that I saw recently and then realized what was happening two couple got on the train and were sitting near me, they were all busy texting and said barely a word to each other, then I realized they were exiting each other in the group, now I don’t mind quiet on the train sometimes but this wasn’t even a quiet car, and they just seemed Evette right able at communicating by text rather than talking
I expect to see a documentary any day where they vows of a wedding were all done by text

Hi hi i work with talking & listening, kind of what i get paied to do, so il guess i cant be a hermit then? :P
