              2. Disadvantages of social networking
                1. People won't know if the person they are talking to is real or fake,for e.g. facebook which means if they share information with them, then they will know their personal information
                  1. people get addicted to social networking which makes them give less time to their studies and other daily activities
                    1. people cant get their emotions across clearly to other people through social networking, which means that the person they are talking to doesnt know how they feel
                    2. disadvantages of instant messaging
                      1. Similar to social newtwroking, emotions are better expressed in person and can sometimes be miscommunicated within a instant message sent quickly

                        2. Voice over internet Protocol

                                    1. VoIP software is used by business for online conferences and meetings, this redcues travel costs, travel time and the cost of hiring a venue
                                    2. Disadvantages
                                      1. Reliability: VOIP service is dependant on the quality and reliabilityof your broadband service and may not work if tere is a power cut or really bad weather
                                        1. Voice quality: voices can sometime sbe disorted or there may be long pauses between questions and answers
