What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet as a means of communications?
Nowadays the Internet is part of our lives and none of us could live without it. We use the Internet to do a lot of things, such as chatting with people all over the world or checking the forecast.
The best achievement of the Internet is to let us to chat with other people virtually. Some people say that it is impersonal, but it is the only way to communicate with someone that lives in another country for free. The Internet communicates people from all over the world, despite of the distance, so it can be considered a social phenomenon.
Using the Internet you have the option to post your photos, videos and thoughts with other users. It’s a good way to share the photos you took the last weekend with your friends, or chatting with them even they are not online, as happens with Facebook. It can also be dangerous if your personal information falls into the wrong person’s hands.
To sum up, the Internet is a good way of being in touch with people and sharing your multimedia files, but there’s always the possibility of being injured.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the internet as a means of communication?
Ten years ago, the term “Internet” was practically unknown to most people, but things have really changed in the last decade. One example is that nowadays, most people use the Internet at home; either to work or study etc. The Internet is a collection of services and resources. It often has both positive and negative effects.
The advantages of the Internet are clear. The main one of it is the communication, which has been revolutionized. Now, we can communicate with a person who is sitting in the other end of the world. For example, I can communicate with a friend who lives in Australia, and it only takes a fraction of a second. We can use the e-mail, we can chat for hours if we want…but we mustn’t allow the chat to control our lives, because it can make you give up your work.
We can share thoughts with people from other countries with other cultures and languages.
We can visit multiple sites, but sometimes we may be facing danger regarding personal details: name, address, credit card number…so we must be careful and know exactly what we are doing with our personal information.
In conclusion, I think that the Internet has more advantages than disadvantages. It has made the world easier. It is really useful in many ways, but we must make sure we are using it to improve our lives.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet as a mean of communication?
In the last few decades, the Internet has grown a lot as a means of communication. Internet becomes more popular every day in all countries, now it is the most complete means of communication that we can find, because you can find all you want, whenever you want.
For this reason the Internet will be gradually has incorporated into all aspects of our daily life, such as shopping, working, the mail ... and especially as a means of communication.
The advantage of Internet as a means of communication is that it’s very easy and fast to use, and you can see things at the time you choose, therefore you don’t have to depend of the television programming, so everyone can be informed. On the other hand, Internet has replaced people in some types of job, such as information offices or ticket booths, because people have begun to do these things on the Internet.
I should add that the Internet contains more information than you can find in other mean of communication, so in many cases it can be more useful. However, the problem in finding so information is that we can find wrong information too, because anyone can create a website.
I believe that the Internet have also revolutionized communication world, as a result, Internet will make things easier, especially for the students, this means that in a few years, things like studying, doing work, homework and even classes will be done via Internet.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet as means of communication?
The Internet it’s a great invention that makes our lives easier. It has a lot of advantages, for example meet a lot of people or play games with people around the world. But it also has disadvantages for example viruses or others.
Internet can be used as a means of information changes. We can chat with a friend who is on the other side of the world, we can find instant information or we can find an old friend that we didn’t see for a long time. But, in the other hand, somebody can find information about us and he can use this information to steal from us.
It’s also true that we live better thanks to the internet. We can do the homework faster or play games online with players around the world. We can even work from our home too. But, the negative part is that we don’t practice sport as before. Years ago, the children preferred to play football in the street and run with a bike. Now the children prefer to play at home and this is the principal cause of obesity among children.
I think that the internet can be good for our lives if we combine the physical exercise with the advantages that the internet offers.

THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE INTERNET AS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.
Internet has changed the world of communication,internet is the last way of communication and one of the most important and every day it grows more and more becouse everybody has a PC at home. Maybe in the future it will be the most important instead of TV.
Internet has a lot of advantages, one is that everybody can have acces to the internet and the news arrives very fast around the world. On the other hand, there are a lot of hackers and they're like the terrorist but in Internet.
Internet allows to know all type of information: news,sport,policy,science... and you only need your keyboard. However,this means that the people don't buy the newspapers,books,magazines and this is negative for a lot of companys.
In my opinion, theinternet is a good way of communication but we mustn't be all the day in front of the computer,we have to read books,newspapers and watch TV too.

What are the advantages and disadventages of the internet as means of communication?
In the last few years, computers have improved our lives but computers have many disadventages. Today, we can surf on the Internet ans see what happens around the world at the moment. Whereas the Internet has both positive and negative effects.
One advantage of computers is that they help us work faster and more efficiently. Consequently, we have more time for other activities. It is also bad because, for example, with one computer you work faster than two people together, that is to say, computers have peplaced people in some types of job.
With the Internet we can learn a lot and peport about all things. On the positive side, the Internet is the best form of communication because it is faster and can be funnier than other types of cummunication like Tv or radio. On the other hand, people are more isolated and the Internet can distract us and this causes not to do well our job.
To sum up, I believe computers and the Internet are good for society but it depends on how people use these forms of communication.

COMPOSITION PAGE 27
InteRnet has changed the life of many people it is a very useful tool and many people work with it. Before it appear the cummunication was different and it was much slower. But the Internet have some advantages and disadvantages.
(new paragraph)
The advantages of computers are clear. On the one hand, the Internet is the way of life of the majority of people. You can look for information of all kinds on the moment as a result, you can chat with many pepole that are in some other part of the world. As to the mail the thing has changed very much. Before the Internet appeared, the mail was very different. There was only way to send a mail, but now you can sende the mail instantaneously. With Internet you can also download music, copy cd's, play games, etc.
On the other hand, there are many disadvantages to Internet. There ara many websites where you can find very bad information or illegal pages. Many people spend much time in front of computer screens and less time talking to each other as a consequence of chatrooms. You can distribute many types of information, and a consequence of this is the pornography.
I believe that Internet has more advantages that disadvantages and it is great step for technology. It is very useful tool and I think that now many people could not live without it.
Composition page 27 (Sonia)
In the 90s, the Internet spread quickly all over the world. Nowadays, almost everybody uses the internet for every. There is information about the past, the present and the futur, too.
But the Internet has some advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, the internet is a very handy tool, because if you need some information or you want to buy for the net, you can do it without problems.
On the other hand, it is a dangerous tool because there are “hackers” and other problems. For example, in the Internet we can find irrational things like children pornography or websites that incite to be prototypes and besides it causes diseases like anorexia or bulimia in young people.
It’s also good because the Internet is a communication tool, because people can speak in chats or other websites.
All in all, I think that life wouldn't be as easy as it is now without the Internet.
We need to have the Internet to communicate. Also there are much people that depends for the internet because it is their job.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the internet as a means of communication?
In the last few years, the Internet has changed our life a lot. Thanks to it we can do a lot of things, for example: to have fun with some on-line games, to be in social networks (as “Facebook”) and even to buy from home. That last thing was unimaginable a few years ago. But it has changed especially our form of communication.
The Internet has turned into a way of communication and that is a fact. An advantage is that the news are transmitted faster than on TV or on radio. For example: a soccer team in Australia wins a match 5 to 0. I can know the final score a few minutes after the match finishes. Or also if, for example, there is a terrorist assault in Afghanistan, I can know everything about it a few minutes after it has happened. Another advantage is the availability of news: I can always know what happened some days, weeks or months ago. It is also good that the news on Internet do not disappear, you can find them whenever -well, that is not completely true-.
However, there are also disadvantages. One of them is that not all the news are trustworthy, so everybody can write what he or she wants on Internet. It is possible that many pieces of news are invented or not completely true.
All in all, I think that the Internet, in general, is something positive. The only disadvantage is that there may be false news, but the amount of untruth pieces of news is very small. Most of the information is true and ait usually coincides with the TV’s information or the radio’s information. Internet is the present and the future of the communication.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet as a means of communication? Discuss.
In the last fifteen years the Internet’s changed the communication in the world. Nowadays, everybody can find a piece of news at the moment it’s happened. The media goes very fast and we can’t stop them. Our society is getting used to this kind of tool that didn’t exist only some years ago.
On the positive side, I’d say that internet is the faster and the most useful instrument to acquire information about everything. For example, we can look for any kind of subject such as Literature, Art, Science, Technology, History, etc. On the negative side, some people can find how to make bombs or murder somebody, pornography, terrorism or racism.
Another important thing is that we can also download music, films and we can chat with people that live lots of miles away. Furthermore, Internet’s revolutionized the work too: today sending emails is essential. On the other hand, it is bad because we can lose our privacy.
All in all, I believe that Internet has more advantages than disadvantages if we know how to use it, but if we use it incorrectly, it can be very harmful. New technologies help to develop our society and are part of our lifestyles.

Internet has grown fastly since ten years ago. The new generations have grown with it.

With Internet can also download a lot of music and files.
Internet has also disadvantages. For instance, it produces addiction for kids, teenagers and adults. Internet is the cause that the students copy directly and without effort the school works.
Internet has good things and bad things, so we have to learn to balance our use of the Internet to be helpful in our lives.Eva
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the internet as a means of communication?
The Internet is a great means of communication worldwide. People use the Internet to do many things, for example, download music, play online games or chat to other people. That seems good, but sometimes, it can cause problems.
The advantages of the Internet are clear. The Internet compared to other forms of communication, is faster. We can search some information in websites from our homes, we can send emails and we can chat to many people. However, it could also be bad. In the first place, the Internet information, it sometimes isn’t reliable. In the second place, when you chat to someone, you don’t know the person at the other end of computer. It’s possible that someone cheatting you about his or her identity.
Actually, we do many things with the Internet. We can download music, films, TV series, software and we can play online games. It is all cheap. That seems very good, but often, this software, music, films and series have viruses that break our computers. Other disadvantage is that some people download music and films and then sell them. It’s a problem for the rich entertainment companies and their rich artists. If people download films and music, and they swap them with millions of other Internet users, nobody buys them.
As a conclusion, I believe that the Internet is a good and fast means of communication, but we should make good use of it. The Internet is very useful in our lifes.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet as means of communication?
Before computers existed people had to find different methods to make their job in a good way. So, our life is less complicated with computers and it’s more easily and efficiently for us.
On the one hand, Internet it’s all over the world so we can communicate with a lot of people from different countries. It isn’t difficult to send an email or have a talk with a friend on the chat. The negative side of being online is that you can find a virus and it can affect your computer system, therefore it’s important to be careful when you surf the Internet.
For students it’s also good to use computers for their homework. Now we can do whatever we want with the Internet at home: download music or films, play games, design a webpage, burn CDs… The worst part of it is that some people want to make a profit. For instance, they can break a CD code to burn it and then, they sell the copies illegally.
All in all, our generation is used to using the Internet at any time and we have to say that it’s very useful to get some information with a click.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the internet as a means of communication?
Internet is the new system where people can interconnect. In addition, it supports popular services such as online chat, file transfer and file sharing, gaming, commerce, social networking, publishing, teleconferencing etc. Now, this system is more popular because it is more comfortable than other.
You can connect in house and talk to people to the other side of the world. Also, you can speak to people that you never met before. You must be careful and don’t give your telephone and your address by Internet, because one disadvantage of the Internet is that people can know your personal information easily and they can produce some bad things with this.
Other advantage of the Internet is that you can research information about one subject very fast. Only it is necessary 5 minutes to learn about one thing. On the other hand, the Internet never reliable because all the people can write their opinion, write suggestions... As a result, the Internet there are true and false things.
All in all, I believe that the Internet is a good tool for working and studding, if people used this well. But also, the internet can produce many distractions and bring down the dedication of people for other social activities.
