A Survey has shown that mobile text messaging could soon become extinct in UK, as the younger generation are turning more and more to other forms of electronic communication. Experts have predicted that the amount of texts sent in the UK will drop by 20% in the next two years as teenagers are increasing using instant messaging from mobile phones and socialnetworking sites such as Facebook.
Even now, a good number of teenagers and students are using BlackBerrys instead of iPhones and other phones because the device has a free BBM messenger.
A study for broadband provider TalkTalk found only 51% of Britons in their teens or early 20s say email is their first choice of communication.
Instant messaging is extremely similar to texting, but faster and cheaper. It is free on BlackBerry phones even for 'pay and go" customers and is used by 39 million people across the world. Communication consultants Mobile Youth said the main drop in texts in down the rise in instant messaging.
A recent report said instant messaging will overtake emails and make that form of contact extinct too. It comes as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg recently declared that "email is dead".
