There are lots of different ways of communication nowadays such as letters and telegrams, telephones and the Internet, but perhaps the most popular one is the mobile phone.

People choose to use mobile phones for communication because they are very convenient. First of all, they are small enough to fit into our pockets so we can easily take it everywhere and always stay in touch. Besides, they allow us not only to phone, but to send small messages, which is very cheap. If you have one of the new multimedia mobiles, you can use the net, play games, watch TV programs and take photos.

However, some people are against mobile phones, because they think that radiation from mobile leads to cancer, which hasn't been actually proved.

I believe it's a good idea to have a mobile with you everywhere, even at school, because in case of emergency we can contact our parents to let them know that we are OK or to ask for help. Besides, if we need some information or advice, we can always get in touch with our friends or parents.

There are some other means of communication which are becoming extremely popular nowadays, for example, e-mail or instant messaging which allow you to keep in touch through the Internet. Instant messaging is more immediate than e-mail because you don't have to check your inbox for new messages as they appear instantly. Another advantage is that more than two people at a time can join in a conversation.

Today modern technologies offer people great opportunities for communication and many people choose instant messaging as the best way of communication.
