Secondly, phones are considered as positive technology for enhancing the quality of communication with friends and family members, especially who live overseas, and the smallest advantage is work-related communication (Wellman et al, 2008). However, only a small proportion of adults feel that mobile phones make the quality of their communication drop (ibid). Thirdly, the most popular connection between people is texting that phone owners use for more than a simple call. In some countries, text message is partially common (Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project, 2015). For example, “in the Philippines, Venezuela, Indonesia and South Africa, 95% or more of cell phone owners say they text regularly. By comparison, 81% of American cell phone owners report ever sending a text message” (ibid). Youngsters^[a] from the age of 18 to 34 are text more frequently than those 35 and older in 30 countries (ibid).
