People in different parts of the world differ HUGELY in what instant-messaging communications platform they use.

For instance people in the US still use text-messaging to a significant percentage. That's hard for me to believe as well.

It's no use looking at Telegram's world usage, that's for sure.

Maybe Telegram is popular in Belarus, but there is one thing that is true all over the world: rates of technology literacy and access is lower for the old/poor/rural.
