Online Messaging
there are many fast instant message providers an example of one is msn, these instant messaging services have their pros and cons. these drawbacks and benefits are both to be taken into consideration before one should use such services. I will use msn as an example because it is the only instant messenger that i have used.
PROS
- A fast way of communicating with Friends, colleagues and family, as it says in the name it is instant(or very fast, this can change depending on the speed of the connection) this is practical as you can have a 2 way or more conversation without having a long waiting time for a reply(obviously this all depends on the reply speed of the Pearson at the other end of the wire)
- It is cost effective, the only fee for most of these services is connecting to the Internet, the service is free that is good if you have broadband because you will not be charged any extra for being online at the time at all.
CONS
- A drawback of these services is that viruses can quickly and easily be sent from one to another disabling and possibly destroying the Innocent Internet users computer from functioning.
- If you enter a group conversation you could be faced with some strange people such as extremist evangelists that are set to convert you, this is just one of many things that could happen whilst using these services.
- If unsafe information is given out this could lead to danger, this is especially in the case of young children, if they where to be speaking to people that they did not know and they gave out personal information that they may not even realise they are doing they could become victims of pedophiles, these pedophiles target children online and try to arrange a meeting, once this has been arranged they could abduct the child during the meeting and ... enough said.
