Instant Messaging Group Project -

Today we started on our IM project. Me, Marjorie and Emily are creating a powerpoint on Instant Messaging to report to our IPT class.

Our powerpoint slides have already consisted of :
1. What Instant Messaging is.
2. Example of IM
3. Advantages of IM
4. Disadvantages of IM

Instant Messaging is a form of real-time communication between two or more people based on typed text. The text is conveyed through devices connected over a network such as the Internet.

Today we were discussing the advantages involved in Instant Messaging and how IM does not involve additional costs because it is used instead of Phone. It is also a good form of communication because there are multiple converstaions happening at once. Also the few disadvantages invovled such as security risks and how it is time consuming for adolescents.
