Who would have ever thought that our lives would become so instant? Today we want our lives to be so quick and so fast that if something is not instant, we go into a panic. There has been a lot of talk about reducing mail delivery due to the electronic age we now live in. To me that would be fine, I get all my mail electronically through my computer and there is no better way to receive and communicate information. Computer technology has advanced our society in many different ways. With the power of the Internet, communication is a click away.
I disagree that texting, Facebook and Twitter will become the only form of communication in the future. I am a member of Facebook but I very much feel that email gives me one on one privacy. I view Facebook and Twitter as what they are; just social networks. Not all in the young generation are members of social networks. Some do not want to conform to social norms; others may not be tech savvy. Email allows all generations to communicate without being part of a network of strangers. Being part of a social network allows you to receive information from anyone just because they happen to see your name on someone’s list. Where is the privacy?
On my computer I have the ability to filter my emails from unwanted guests. Email allows you to keep order in your life. If I need to go back and look over any type of communication or file, email allows me to keep a hard copy or stored copy on my hard drive for years later. Texting does not allow this, and once you loose an important conversation, cell phone companies will not retrieve the messages for you.
Where would businesses be without email? Businesses are conducting major acquisitions and takeovers using email everyday. Sending an email shows business etiquette and is more professional and acceptable then sending a text or communicating through Facebook or Twitter.
Though new and innovative ways of communicating will be a part of our future that does not mean we have to throw away the things that have been a part of our past or present. We control what we want to be available for future generations and if we want email to be a part of their future then we must not let it go extinct.
