There are many pros and cons to Online Communication. Four types of Online Communication are e-mail, Instant Messaging and Chat Rooms . E-mail is good because it is a fast, easy and free way to communicate with anyone as long as you have an e-mail, they have an E-mail and the Internet is working. E-mail can be bad because of the loads of Spam emailed to many E-mail addresses. Instant Messaging is another form of Online Communication. It can be used positively when talking to another person that you know. However, hackers can hack into a friends screename and talk to any and everyone on their "Buddy List." Equipped with Instant Messaging is another type of Online Communication, Chat Rooms. Chat Rooms can be good because in one, a person can talk to more than one person at a time, and have a group discussion. However, the negative side of Chat Rooms is the fact of safety once again. In Chat Rooms, anyone can join and therefore, anyone can talk to anyone else, even if they do not know eachother.
