I think that there are both pros and cons to online communication. First of all there is a few different ways of online communication they are e-mail, blogging, chat rooms and instant messenging. There are both pros and cons to all of these. First the pros are that you can talk to people anywhere in the world and it is fast and easy. One con of online communication is that it is not the safest way to communicate. When you post on a blog you can't tell who is going to read it and who is not. E-mail and instant messenging is a lot safer because the messege is only sent to the person you are having a conversation with. Another con is that if there is a blackout or a bad connection you can't get on to the internet and therefore you can't communicate online.
