Nowadays millions of people are using the internet worldwide. You can use internet for different goals; most of the people are using internet to communicate with each other.
There are lots of benefits if you communicate trough internet; it is fast, cheap and you can keep up contacts with people all over the world. There are also dangers and negative sides if you communicate trough internet; the change is bigger that there is miscommunication, because you can’t use body language, eye contact, tone of voice and so on.When you Email or chat with a friend, that person doesn’t know if you are joking, angry or sarcastic and that’s why there is a lot of miscommunication trough internet. Some foundations who are helping children who are bullied did some research. Since internet is popular at school children are getting bullied more often. Namely trough msn, which is a program that you can download on internet and you can add other people and chat with them. On public websites like Facebook, Hyves, Twitter you have to be really careful with communication and giving information about yourself and other people. You don’t know the other person and maybe it is somebody totally different then the person tells you he/she is. Also be careful with posting pictures and videos on your website because most of them are public and everybody can see them. Nowadays children raise up with computers, internet, games and when a kid only plays games on the internet, than it can be a danger because it can be really difficult for them to make friends and to communicate in a proper way in real life.
You see that there are not only benefits if you communicate trough internet but there are also a lot of dangers and negative sides. In a lot of countries the government is already making campaigns about these dangers, to make the people alert.
