Those days are gone when correspondence used to take place via letters. The modern era is the age of the internet, social media and WhatsApp. Your thoughts reach thousands and millions of people instantly within seconds.
Just take the example of October 25 when WhatsApp service was down in many countries of the world including Pakistan. First, the groups and then the messages between each other and WhatsApp online on the computer also stopped working.
This whole process continued for more or less an hour and a half. Users faced significant difficulties in communicating with each other.
An hour and a half passed, and the services of WhatsApp were also restored, but following the suspension, memes flooded social media
A large number of people created memes in which social media users were seen running to Twitter after the suspension of WhatsApp services. Someone built the Twitter train, someone called engineers to fix WhatsApp.
If we consider all this situation, then WhatsApp is the name of an app with which people’s daily routines are becoming more and more intimate with the passage of time.
The short suspension of WhatsApp on Tuesday also hit the Pakistani media so much that there was an uproar in no time and several TV channels were seen breaking news and running tickers on it.
In the days when there was no WhatsApp, was it not possible to deal with other important business matters including journalism or to keep in touch with friends? Some other similar questions also arose in the minds of Pakistani people yesterday.
There is actually nothing wrong in using any social media app including WhatsApp, but people living in every country of the world including Pakistan must understand that the facilities should not be depended on to the extent that they start giving you oxygen.
Life can be lived without WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms and today’s man has to prepare his mind as to how he will survive if these apps are not available in the future.
