Disadvantages Of Using an E-Mail - ICT Lesson !

Hi there , today our lesson in the ICT was about the E-mails and Viruses ..

Today we discussed about the disadvantages of using emails , and we were asked to post it in our Blogs ..

Ok , back to our point , the disadvantages of using E-mails .. Honestly , I think that those disadvantages are merely seen due to the overwhelming advantages , but still , they are a threat to all E-mail users ..

First of all , the most disadvantage is : Viruses .. ! You cant be completely safe from viruses even if the E-mail Server you use is supported with an Anti-Virus - Every time new viruses are programmed in large numbers ! Even though you have an antivirus not only in your e-mail service provider , but also your own PC , because of this reason that new viruses are programmed ever time , you cant help but be in a threat ! Usually people who likes to surf the internet so much doesn't consider it a big threat because they already have strong antiviruses , and " if a virus wants to breakthrough my PC then let it do " , they surf the internet, without caring for tjis point , and I am with them ! You cant waste your time on only searching for new solutions every time ! Its not like the new programmed viruses will be attacking your PC continuously , just let it be , the important thing is that you be Up To Date , and if a virus attacks , the antivirus will take care of it , and if you couldn't , then use a website cleaner , you have many of them such as Window Live One Care , which is being updated instantly ..

Back to the point , another disadvantage of using E-mail is opening a port for your PC to be hacked ! Its not something to be surprised about, hackers know no limits ! Hackers can send their clients attached with a fake picture or file or any program , and once you open it : HACKED ! But seriously , hackers try to use some exciting titles , using words that would make you want to try and open the file , either its a downloadable file , or a website link , but do they really think this trick would effect on people these days ? These things became old fashioned , now most people are aware of these kinds of things, even if they tried new words the result is still the same :P If I were in their place , I would use a new method of hacking by E-mail XD

Next is , E-mails depend on the internet , it is a fast method of sending your messages , where you can send even media , but if you cant access the internet you cant reach your inbox , and eventually cant read the message ! In the same category , important messages may not reach , because maybe an error occurs in the servers of the service provider , and your E-mail is delayed or lost , in the time that you need the other person to read that message .. Although its still an excellent way of sending important things such as documents or important pictures , where you cant find a replacement for the fast E-mail !

I think thats enough , and I can hardly think of any other disadvantages , so one last word :

Use the E-mails or the internet as you wish , but be sure to do the things that you need to , before getting in to troubles :P

And .. Good Luck Everybody ! :)

Best Regards ..
