Beware of "T"!

I am here to warn you about a very dangerous mode of communication. If you are still using it, stop before it's too late. I'll give you some hints:

1. It was invented by a European, its name comes from Greek and starts with a "T".

2. When scammers use "T", they can act as if they never said anything (unless you take efforts to preserve their words). "T" enables fraud.

3. If you use "T" to say something to a friend, they can pretend that you didn't and make fun of you. You won't have a way to prove you said it. "T" enables gaslighting.

4. If you used "T" to say something sweet to the person you love — and then break up with a scandal, you'll have to rely on your memory to bring your sweet words back. "T" is not for chatting with loved ones.

5. If you used "T" to talk to business partners, you won't have any proof you said what you said and they said what they said. "T" is harmful for your business.

6. Unless you prepare very well in advance of the conversation, the data exchanged over "T" can't be used as evidence in court. "T" helps criminals.

By now you should have guessed that I'm talking about the Telephone, that devilish invention of the Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell [1]. We're all in great peril if we continue using the Telephone.

Let's switch to Telegram Messenger instead.

It can do everything the Telephone can (including calls) and more: it makes your chats accessible from any of your devices, has cloud drafts and allows sending files of any kind of up to 1,5 GB in size each. It also has groups for up to 200,000 members, channels for broadcasting your messages to unlimited audiences — and some damn cool stickers.

[1] I'm getting hate-mail for not mentioning any of the other people listed here. Yes, it was not just Bell.
