Why
haven't
they
replied
?
Everyone
?
it
seems
?
these
days
has
a
smartphone
.
Along
with
the
smartphone
came
the
apps
that
made
it
easier
and
,
of
course
,
cheaper
to
stay
in
touch
with
your
friends
.
Whether
you
favor
Facebook
Messenger
or
WhatsApp
,
Snapchat
or
Instagram
,
all
make
the
same
promise
:
you
can
talk
with
your
friends
all
day
,
every
day
.
Except
when
they
don't
reply
!
It
appears
that
the
popularity
of
texting
has
also
brought
with
it
a
new
kind
of
.
You
send
a
message
and
.
.
.
silence
.
You
look
at
your
phone
waiting
for
the
and
.
.
.
nothing
.
Time
passes
slowly
by
,
you
begin
to
wonder
:
"
I
sent
the
text
ten
minutes
ago
!
Why
haven't
they
replied
?
"
In
the
past
,
you
could
yourself
with
the
thought
that
they
hadn't
read
it
.
Now
there
are
little
that
tell
you
they
have
received
it
and
that
they
have
read
it
.
So
where
is
the
reply
?
Called
'read
,
these
tick
boxes
that
turn
blue
or
the
appearance
of
a
profile
picture
next
to
the
message
show
they
saw
it
.
A
few
more
minutes
pass
while
you
look
at
the
phone
,
then
you
check
that
you
are
still
online
.
Nothing
.
The
doubt
starts
to
.
Then
you
understand
.
You've
been
left
on
'read'
.
It
is
enough
to
make
the
most
self
-
confident
person
start
to
question
things
.
Did
you
say
something
that
was
out
of
line
?
Did
they
feel
somehow
annoyed
at
what
you
said
?
You
think
not
,
but
what
if
.
.
.
?
So
you
read
your
message
again
and
start
noticing
that
it
might
be
taken
to
mean
something
else
,
perhaps
.
Should
you
write
a
second
message
explaining
the
first
?
Or
would
that
look
really
?
You
never
picture
the
logical
explanation
that
they
are
driving
?
some
folks
look
down
on
texting
as
childish
behavior
.
In
that
moment
,
you
are
convinced
that
the
reply
?
if
and
when
it
comes
?
will
cause
you
for
some
reason
.
The
anxiety
of
being
left
on
read
is
silly
,
but
if
you
have
had
it
,
then
you
know
it
is
real
.
It
is
also
unique
to
this
time
.
There
is
no
in
previous
times
.
Now
of
course
,
for
every
yin
there
is
a
yang
,
but
I
hope
that
among
my
readers
there
is
no
one
who
makes
a
habit
of
putting
the
writer
on
read
and
then
not
replying
.
Come
on
,
that
is
mean
!
Even
if
the
writer
deserves
some
punishment
for
a
wrong
,
isn't
this
going
too
far
?
In
recent
times
the
'problem'
seems
to
have
reached
the
ears
of
the
app
and
,
on
some
services
,
you
have
the
option
to
turn
read
receipts
off
.
But
then
if
you
do
this
,
it
could
suggest
that
you
have
something
to
hide
,
couldn't
it
?
Maybe
,
just
maybe
,
I'm
going
crazy
with
this
whole
thing
!
I'll
just
check
to
see
if
I
have
any
messages
and
then
I'm
going
to
delete
all
my
message
apps
,
maybe
.
Now
test
your
understanding
!
