6. In groups discuss the following questions.

1. List the advantages and disadvantages of computers and the

Internet. Which list is longer?

Advantages: education, online shopping, chatting, payments, searching for information, communication, online games;

Disadvantages: loss of personal information, internet addiction, time wastage, obesity, fake news.

2. Do you think modern ways of communication (e.g. e–mail, mobile

phones, etc.) are more impersonal than traditional ones (e.g.

letters, face to face)? How have mobile phones and the Internet

changed the way we keep in touch with friends and family? Do

you send text messages from your holiday rather than postcards?

Think of other examples.

Modern way of communication is more impersonal but very quick. Thanks to phones we can get in touch with our friends easily. We can support each other and give quick feedback. I very rarely send postcards, only if it is some special place and I buy postcard for memory.
