1.The good, bad E-mail messages
Nowadays electronic mail has become the unexciting and mundane electronic communication medium that we love to hate. It wasn’t always that way. The hate is fairly recent emotion. Email has been with us in one form or another since the earliest days of computer networks and bulletin board services. Since the 1970’s email has evolved into communication tool of choice for information technology academics and professionals. Often emails are rambling and unorganized, forcing the reader to wade through blocks of totally useless text. When it comes to written communication, less is more. Having hundreds of emails in your Inbox is not common. But it’s very uncommon to find people who successfully manage their Inbox.
The Good E-mail message
Some of the technical advantages of email:
Ø Email can be as fast as needed
Ø Email, like post and unlike other electronic communication. This enables sender and receiver to interact with their message autonomously and without distracting cross-talk.
Ø Email appears to be free, or at least cheap to the users.
The Bad E-mail message
Ø Email may lead to communication slavery.
Ø The convenience of email encourages abuse at the inter-personal level.
Ø Email extensions encourage irresponsible mass-mailing.
Do you agree with them all?
