What is SMS???? What is the relevance of it in the present world….?????

The Wikipedia definition of Short Message Service (SMS)says,it is a communications protocol allowing the interchange of short text messages between mobile telephone devices. SMS text messaging is the most widely used data application on the planet, with 2.4 billion active users, or 74% of all mobile phone subscribers sending and receiving text messages on their phones.The SMS technology has facilitated the development and growth of text messaging. The connection between the phenomenon of text messaging and the underlying technology is so great that in parts of the world the term "SMS" is used as a synonym for a text message or the act of sending a text message, even when a different protocol is being used.

But what actually lies in a few text characters interchanged through mobile phones is far above than its technical interpretation.As mobile phones has become so common nowadays and that the youth is so obsessed to it,as it is even treated as an extension of their hands,the relevance of SMS stands even taller.

In this busy era conveying a message via this media is incomparable due to its convenience and privacy and effectiveness.

it can touch your heart without even speaking … it extends a consoling pat to you without even touching.. … it takes off the anger and brings back the smile in your face …. it reveals someone’s true feeling for you… it motivates you in a split second … it can wipe out your sorrows…. it relieves your tension…it intimates…it reminds….…it makes you nostalgic….
