INFOGRAPHIC: How SMS Messaging Is Changing The World

It’s become the most common form of communication on the planet and the number one occupation of teenagers everywhere.  That’s right, I’m talking about text messaging (SMS) which, quite often, is the best way to send someone a short message without getting trapped talking on the phone for ages.  Whether it’s keeping in touch with friends and relatives in other countries or texting your partner to request a takeaway, it’s hard to find someone these days who doesn’t know what texting is or who has never done it before.
