• I use e-mail to socialise with a lot of my friends. Additionally I use e-mail to check if I have received anything from school. This is how i keep up to date.
• I mainly use e-mail from home to communicate with friends. Normally I only ever send basic letter type e-mails, with no attachments.
• Benefits of using e-mail is that it is instant and doesn't take any time to send. Additionally by using e-mail opposed to posting I save money seeing as e-mail is free.
• Disadvantages of using e-mail is that your recipient is unaware that they may have been sent an e-mail and so the message could sit in their inbox for days. This is a problem if the message is of importance.
• E-mail makes me more productive when I am busy with work, this is because I can save time by sending a few quick messages rather than tracking down individual people. E-mail makes me less produictive when I have to add attachments to the e-mail, as this slows down the messaging process.
• I think e-mail does fulfill its intended purpose as it has changed how we communicate with each other.
