Kirk Bouley:E-mail
It is not hard to find countless articles reflecting how amazing e-mail is as a tool for both personal and business use. You can easily formulate messages, send them to countless people and attach all sorts of documents in seconds. You can forward messages and best of all is it is completely free. In this day of speed and convenience e-mail has become an absolute necessity. There is no faster or cheaper way to reach volumes of people. While all of this is great, something really important has been lost in the e-mail revolution. No matter how advanced e-mail gets there will never be a way to convey the sincerity of a personal message. Even thinks like birthday cards and wedding invitations are all electronic now. I understand the use of e-mail in some settings but when we allow it to become our only form of communication we are missing out on a lot. In our endless quest for convenience have we lost sight of what communication really is? Isn’t the point of communication to make a connection with another person?
