Email

I cannot get over how our lives have changed by email. Everyday, I get on my computer and can get in touch with all of my friends from all over the world, within seconds. it does not matter whether we have major time difference, I just get on my computer and type up a short hello. When I get up the next day, I will sure get a response from my friends. It's hard to remember those days when we have no cell phone, black berry, fax or answering machine, computers...Somehow, people still are able to get in touch... by letters! I don't remember the last time I wrote a letter. I used to love to write letters, now I only send cards. I have forgotten how to write a good letter.  Most of the time, when I go to my mail box, the majority of my mail are paper ads and junk mail, and oh, bills... burried in between pages of junk mail. Have to say I much rather sit infront of my computer than go to my mail box because  9 X out of 10, it's filled with wasteful, junk mail!

But email is different! Great for ecology since we are not wasting paper so we don't have to cut down that many trees...

A big "Thank you" to the Email Inventor... you are the best!

email was invented by a guy named Ray Tomlinson in the early 1970s. He has a website here: http://openmap.bbn.com/~tomlinso/ray/home.html

i disagree with the assertion that electronic communications will 'evaporate': thats one of the problems with the internet. copies of anything and everything you write can be kept in perfect condition forever. 20,40,60,100 years from now your kids or grandkids or great-grandkids will know exactly what you wrote on your blog on June 26th 2007 at 3:34pm...
