MANILA, Philippines – Staying online 24/7 and posting real-time updates on various social media pages from practically anywhere have become the norm rather than the exception these days, thanks to mobile data.
It’s no longer surprising to see someone, say, during your daily commute killing time by checking out Facebook updates, posting selfies on Twitter or Instagram, playing online games, reading articles, or streaming their favorite shows and movies with their smartphones.
Surely, at one point you’ve probably wondered how much data you consume when you watch all those viral videos and vlogs by your favorite personalities, or when you post a status on Facebook.
