Love it or hate it, there's no debating just how much email has changed the way we communicate. Therefore, email has many benefits such as;
- Accessibility - email is simply a click away to communicate with one another from the own comforts of your home.
- Speed - it takes less than a minute to send an attachment or file via email rather than the old use of postal services where you rely on the postman to deliver a parcel or letter, which can take anything from a few days to a few weeks.
- Cost - you can communicate globally at low cost.
- Growth - allows businesses to grow i.e. advertising to a wider audience and distributes information quickly.
- Social - social interaction all over the world.
- Job opportunities - enables job seekers to search for job/career opportunities.
However, what must come up must come down. There are always benefits and disadvantages to anything and email has some disadvantages such as;
- Time consuming - using email can cause complications like that of spam which causes the recipient to receive unwanted information that clogs up their inbox.
- Tone - no tone enables wording to become misread.
- Internet connection - emails relies on good internet connection, if this is poor no emails can be sent or received.
- Viruses and Hacking - viruses can be sent over email which can erase all memory off the computer or even worse people can hack onto your email, resulting in identity theft or stolen documents.
