I am probably in the minority here but I have to say I am not that fond of e-mail. Sure, it's quick and easy but there are so many minuses too.
For the most part e-mail is written quickly and sent without a second thought. In the past few weeks I've had e-mails from friends and family that at first glance seemed to be really rude and one that came across as a telling off. I was later assured that "I was just trying to explain it to you". But it really hurt my feelings.
Also I hate getting those letters "sent to me by a good friend and I'm forwarding this on". Those medical "alert" ones are especially annoying. I got one last week only to have the person who sent it e-mail me again within hours to say she had just found out it was a hoax.
The most annoying e-mail I got recently was a do it yourself palm-reading! I should have known better but I opened it anyway. Turns out I don't have many "quality years ahead"!! Unfortunately I was waiting to see a heart specialist when I got this e-mail so the timing was not great.
These are not going into the junk mail folder but coming from friends.
Call me old fashioned but I liked to get my letters from the postman. Now he just brings bills.
