Pros and Cons of Internet Communication

Communication through the internet can have many different pros and cons. I would have to say that I think there are more pros than cons rearding communication on the internet. The pros are being able to talk to people faster, easier, and without paying any money to do any of that. Some of the most popular forms of communication on the internet is through email, chat rooms, blogging, and instant messaging. There are some other ways that people can communicate but those are the most common ones that are used by people. These are all conveniant for people because it is another way to talk if you don't want to or are unable to talk on the phone. These forms of communication on the internet can also have some cons. Some of those cons would be that not everyone is online at the same time which means you can't talk to each other and when using something like a chat room, you open yourself up to online predators. Online predators have access to everything on the internet that you do and they try to do things to get in other peoples heads. That is why communication on the internet can sometimes be dangerous. All in all, I think there are more positive things to communicating online than there are negative things.

Nick, I agree that the pros of online communication outweigh the cons and that one of the most important features of online communication is that it is fast and cheap.
