Communication on the Internet, for example in SMS or in other massaging apps, has a lot of benifits and drawbacks. The following paragraphs discuss whether advantages and disadvantages and reach a reasonable conclusion.
In my view, texting has many advantages. For example, if you are in subway or at the lecture, and you need to tell someone something, it could be more comfortable to write a message than call. Also, you can communicate with people, when you are traveling, you can send photos or videos, voice messages, or, for example, if you can’t meet person right now, but you want to tell something, you can be always in touch.
On the other hand, SMS and messaging apps have disadvantages too. Some people forget about communication in real life, in my opinion, it’s really important to spend time with friends and family, it can’t be replaced by communication on the internet, but some people think, that communication in messaging apps is enough. Also, sometimes the meaning of your message could be distorted by your companion, because facial expressions and emotions can’t be seen in Internet, this may cause conflicts.
In conclusion, SMS and messaging apps have benifits, you can be always in touch with people, when you are traveling, busy, when your are in places, where could be uncomfortable to call and speak, you can immediately tell someone information. But this type of communication has drawbacks too, sometimes people forgot that besides communication on the internet, it is also important to meet people. One more disadvantage, that massages can’t always show all person’s emotions and feelings.
