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.
