E-mail

Majority of the world use electronic mail everyday but why?
Now that computers have almost evolved we send emails instead of posting a letter, this is good because it cuts down time and usually saves money. When composing a message you can send messages to all your contacts or forward emails. This may be useful in large companies for it gets the same message around a lot quicker. Electronic mail can be found any where in the world so from a leisure perspective helps people to keep in contact with close friends or family members. Although electronic mail is widely used there are negative factors that we have to consider such as spam which is the abuse of email that is sent in bulk. Spam is usually connected to commercial companies who receive user information from other programs or companies that they have subscribed to. As technology improves more younger people are signing up for email accounts, this could be used in a negative way via cyber bullying and account hacking.
