For work purposes here, I'm on Whatsapp with our IT chat group created by my manager in WA.
I'm also on Whatsapp and FB messenger with friends n family around the world. And FB, Twitter (reactivated cos of Elon's drama) and a little Instagram.
It's not uncommon for us to chat face to face at work, while sometimes checking in and replying to a friend in the UK or OZ , Canada, etc
We've learned to transcend Time and Space, so to speak. Godly qualities, but how one uses it or perceives this tech to be good or bad - All subjective.
I don't have to physically be in Singapore to see my 4 yr old niece getting all excited about her 2 new pet snakes , etc A short quick video chat with Mom, and
so on.
So convenient. :)
