Evaluation of Email.

I use email everyday of my life and for good purpose, I use it to consolidate something someone has said to me during the day, to arrange things, to inform someone of something I have found interesting that day and to forward an email sent to me that I think is important that someone else see's.

I mainly use email at home, sending and receiving mail with MS Outlook, which is connected to my hotmail account, I also use the Windows Live Mail facility sometimes, if Outlook is giving some problems.

The major benefits of email are that it’s quick because it takes no time at all to type an email, easy because it’s easily accessible and easy to use, and can be done at any time.

There are some disadvantages to email though in that, they can be delayed, so you don’t get your message to a person in time so the message becomes pointless, emails don’t convey everything you are trying to say to a person and to access your mail you need access to the web.

Email can make you more productive because you can send multi emails, therefore cutting down on you having to type each one from start. You can send photos, images, files, movies, etc.

They can be also be less productive, if you are trying to finish some work on the computer/laptop; there is always the temptation to check your mail, etc.

Email does fulfill its intended purpose, because it enables wide spread communication.
