Don't get me wrong. Whatsapp is cool and everything. And Messenger is really convenient for sending links and sharing videos. Innovations in technology are great.
I miss not knowing when the receiver gets my message. The anticipation of a reply. Not knowing when the actual typing is happening. I sometimes don't want people to know just how much time it's taking me to frame a particular message.
Maybe it's just me. Some people find it easy to just read a message - letting the other person know they have - and still not replying. I think it's impolite, though. As a result, I've got week-old emails in my inbox that I still haven't read because I haven't found the time to reply. Can you imagine how frustrating it must be to know that the other person has read your message, but still hasn't replied?
Sigh. Sometimes, technology does more bad than good.
