E-mail & Usenet
             The advantages of e-mail are that they can be personal and private. Not everyone can read or have access to your e-mail address and account. You can send an e-mail to anyone who as an e-mail address. I think of e-mail as regular mail just faster. I can send pictures through e-mail. You can even keep tabs on your bills using your e-mail account and address. There are some disadvantages to e-mail. You are limited to what you can do with e-mail. You can't have a group discussion. You don't have access to all kinds of information. You can't really express yourself and get feedback from just using e-mail.
             For Usenet, it's very different from e-mail. You still do have to register. You have access to uncontrolled information. You can make a comment on that information and start on discussion. Thanks to freedom of speech. Usenet can be very helpful for work and school. Large organizations and corporations have a news server. Some of them do require a username and password to participate in the discussions. You have a lot more freedom and access to tons of information. Some disadvantages of this program could be no privacy. Some articles or discussions can be upsetting or explicit, and they do have the right to post these articles and discussions. Usenet can be addictive. You can get caught in a tangle web.
