    Stupid kids decided it was a status symbol and no one in the states really uses third party message apps.

      I don’t want to call the kids stupid. It’s the Network Affect. Apple has a sleek design and like two phones. Android it really uneven in quality and capabilities between mid range end high end. I’ve been on Androids since 2012 and love them. I can however understand why iPhone caught on and then you’re friends are on they’re and you want to be. Social pressure doesn’t make kids stupid just human.

        It’s not just the message color thing. It seems like more kids these days just can’t solve anything themselves. Like ok, they want to live their entire lives on their cell phone, but they have no knowledge of how the phones work or what any of the hardware inside does. Any problems with anything and it’s just “broke” and they have nearly unlimited information at their fingertips, but don’t know how to look anything up to try and actually solve a problem.
