Did you ever feel so handicapped before? Im sure, you all know what we are talking about here, the whatsapp downtime made us all anxious and paused lives for a couple of hours.
The outage was faced across the globe and platforms like Twitter was full of reactions from loaded users.
This has happened before but WhatsApp had its worst brownout ever. The technical glitch lead to numerous reports by users sending and receiving texts on the app.
On the Downdetector; which is a platform to detect the impact of downtime shared most metro cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru and Lucknow were affected and user messaging was stuck.
This shows our plight and dependency on social and networking platforms. The moment we wake up, we run for our smartphones and cannot wait to check Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Instagram as if they are food and water to us without which we cannot survive.
Technology definitely has its pros and cons but we shouldn’t get addicted to something or limit ourselves. There are so many instant messaging options available with such good features, you name it and they have what you need. From Signal to telegram and the most popular communication platform Truecaller has Truecaller chat that can easily connect you to your peers and also help you exchange documents, files, etc. In fact the plus point is this chat allows you to share large file sizes up to 100 MB.
We should learn to use technology to our advantage than becoming prisoners. Next time you face a similar issue, remember what the world of technology offers or maybe enjoy some real life!
