...o type out the e-mail choose all of her students click send and its sent to every student, quick and efficient. Even though e-mail is a quicker and more efficient way to get messages across there are some negatives to it. Anything can go wrong with computers at anytime e-mails won’t go through or sometimes people can get into your computer and delete them from your inbox folder. In the “We’ve got mail-Always” article Leonard says “E-mail, ultimately, is a fragile thing, easy to forge, easy to corrupt, east to destroy” (Leonard 84). He then goes on and tells a story about a man who lost over one thousand five hundred of his saved e-mails accidentally messing around with his computer. Inbox and outbox can sometimes go bad but in this case they went real bad, that is one bad thing there is no back-up for e-mails lost once they are deleted they’re gone. You can always save e-mails in a different folder or you can have someone resend them, so there is some risk but being able to use e-mail is worth that risk. Living without e-mail would be real tough for some people including the man who wrote “Journey of an e-mail” John Dyson. He says “Along with more than 150 Alt 3 million others around the world, I use e-mail all the time and can’t imagine living without it” (Dyson 95). There are so many people that feel the same way as Dyson does, many people pretty much have to have the internet. Businesses, school systems, all of these things would have a hard time going without it. Schools use it probably the most with all of the communication that has to go on between all of the students and the teachers and teachers among other teachers. Even though people did live without it before it came along a lot of things are changing as time goes by so there has to be upgrades made to keep up with everything. There is some stuff that people can live without when they have e-mail and that is all of the junk e-mails that come everyday. In Leonard’s article he says “Last month, after a weeks vacation, I discovered 1,218 unread e-mail messages waiting in my IN box” (Leonard 82). This can be very annoy when you are just going to check and see if someone e-mailed you and you have to go through fifty e-mails to find the one you are looking for. Not only looking through them then you have to go delete them all so they aren’t there for the next time you check. This is a negative for e-mail but for all of the good things that it does I’m sure most people will go through the five minute hassle of deleting e-mails to still have it to use. There are things that have to do with personal life that e-mail can also help out with for an example looking through your spouse’s e-mails and finding they have been cheating on you, that’s a real shocker but I bet you’ll be glad you found out. In Leonard’s article he tells about a story along those lines. A wondering husband finds out his wife had been cheating on his by looking through her private e-mail. In the article it says that Alt 4 this could have happened through regular mail many years ago, but now people think e-mail is a lot more private than regular mail is. Also e-mail makes it easier to approach the opposite sex because you’re not feeling the fear of rejection. Shreve says in Leonard’s article that “It lacks the immediate threat of physical rejection; people who are perhaps shy or had painful romantic failures in the past can use the internet as a way to build a relationship in the early romantic stages” (Leonard 83). Meghan Daum agrees with the what she said in that article. In her article called Virtual Love she met he partner through though the internet e-mail and instant messenger, I bet it was very easy for the two to talk online then it would have been in person. There is so much more you can say to someone and you won’t feel stupid for saying it. Al...
