The Touch of Whatsapp

Hi!  I am back again.  The touch of a Gen-X 'tegar'...towards Whatsapp.  Everybody would agree that communication is a very important part of our daily life.  We communicate with a lot of people daily in need of some urgent work or even with an intention to keep in touch with our friends.  As a Gen-X 'tegar', I use to communicate using sms or phone calls.  What can you aspect from a Nokia X2-01?  It is not possible to connect to wi-fi as it does not have the required hardware to do that...Poor thing!

Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, there has been many ways of communicating with people.  One of the cheapest way is by using Whatsapp Messenger.  It is an application supported by many smart phones of the present day.

What we need to have is the internet connection (example 3G or wi-fi), to send messages using the Whatsapp application to someone who had also installed Whatsapp.  Whatsapp has thus reduced the charges that incur due to the text messages.  We now just have to pay for the internet connection and can send numerous number of text messages using Whatsapp.  The application is available for free from the online stores that we downloaded and installed in our mobiles.  I really feel that this is really cool, especially when you want to communicate and share photo's or links from our smartphone to someone else.  This is actually the main reason why I had invested in a smartphones.  'Terjebak sudah'.  I have no other choices actually.  All the other classmates are using smartphones to stay connected with each other.  So do I!  ;)

Besides that, with Whatsapp, I can easily communicate with my siblings in Manhattan & Kobe.  They normally share their experience and photos to keep in touch with us in Malaysia, especially when they are in different season and daylight hours.  As we learn in geography, the changes in seasons occur due to the rotation, revolution, and the inclination of Earth on it's axis.  And from their input and status update from time to time, we are aware on those changes, and how it affect their lives and learn from them on how they deal with it.

This is an exiting journey, as we know that, we can actually find all those sources from other social network, but, with Whatsapp, it is just like a messenger where we can receive a 'live' information that we can trust!  Apart from that, with a group Whatsapp created, we can even share all information with the rest of the family members.  Live update from each one of us from different location, keep us together as one Happy Family.  ;)  For sharing purposes, appended below the latest photo from our family gathering during Adik's wedding, that was taken 2 years ago.
