Smartphones are not just cell phones, they are advanced devices that combine many useful features and functions. MAS enable fast and direct communication between two or more parties over the Internet. The use of MAs started in the early 2010s and has been increasing tremendously ever since. Like all other communication platforms, MAs have both advantages and disadvantages. Probably the main benefit of communicating by messaging apps is that it seems most like a face-to-face or telephone conversation because it happens in real time. Discussions that could take days over email can happen in a matter of minutes through MAs. The use of MAS provides more opportunities for clarification of ideas, thus resulting in less miscommunication. Another benefit is that communication by MAs is more private than talking in person or over the phone when you are in a room with others. In fact, it's common for two people in the same room, office, or coffee shop to use MAs to communicate rather than just talk! There are also disadvantages to using MAs. Some people feel it is an invasion of privacy. Although using MAs can be a beneficial way to keep in touch with friends, family, and co-workers, it can also be annoying to always have someone know when you are online. In order to get around this, most MAs will allow you to choose to be "invisible," or you can always sign out. Another disadvantage of MAs is that many programs allow you to communicate with strangers. While this can be both interesting and fun, it can also be dangerous. You should be careful about what information you share on the Internet. To stay safe, follow these basic rules: • • • Be careful when creating a screen name. It should not include personal information. For example, use a nickname such as travelguy instead of abhaahmad. Never tell your real name, location, or telephone number. Do not put your screen name on public lists or directories. Also, do not give it to strangers. Never provide sensitive personal information such as your credit card numbers or passwords in a conversation via a MA. Only communicate with people who are on your contact or buddy lists. Never open pictures, download files, or click links in messages from people you don't know. If you use a public computer, do not choose to log on automatically. People who use that computer after you may be able to see and use your screen name to log on. Advantages of MAs: 1. Disadvantages of MAs: Ways to stay safe: 1. 1. وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 2024-1446 MG_02_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 223 2. 2. Unit 1 223 30/4/24 2:32 AM
