10 Billion Instant Messages Exchanged Per Day
It's not the information revolution it seems to be, though. 90% of all IM's consist of the text "Justin Timberlake is teh ghey" and "Hey, check it out, Lindsey Lohan got her jugs back."
Shocking:
The youngest Netizens, and teenagers in particular, are the most avid IM users, and often use it more than e-mail or their mobile phones to communicate with each other, in addition to taking advantage en masse of some of the newest features available.
Remember the days we'd have to get together face-to-face and enjoy a nice beer or coffee when we wanted to talk? How backwards we were.
Thanks to Allah.
