E-mail has had a huge impact on professional and social communication, but this impact has been a negative as well as positive. Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?

The use of e-mail has revolutionized the way people communicate, both professionally and socially. Some believe that sending mails has created a negative impact in communicating with others. However, in my opinion, sending messages through the Internet has made communication, whether to a colleague or to a friend, more convenient and faster.

There are people who feel that because of e-mails, they have paradoxically isolated themselves, either at work or in society at large. For example, my friend, who is an online teacher, told me that even if he is always at home with his siblings, he rarely talks to them because he needs to submit his education plans daily to his supervisor as part of his work through “Yahoo Mail.” Because of this, he often feels alone, far from home and from workmates. Certainly, electronic mails can be disadvantageous in this regard.

In spite of the negative effects, being in touch with colleagues and friends through e-mail has become easier and faster especially when the people concerned are miles away from each other. For instance, as a journalist, I travel at all times, which means I am always away from the office and from home. To submit my journals on time to the editor-in-chief and to be updated with my family’s whereabouts and goings-on, I use “Gmail.” For these reasons, e-mail is highly beneficial.

In conclusion, while there are obvious drawbacks to using e-mails, this innovation has greatly improved the way we communicate, both professionally and socially. Indeed, the benefits of e-mails far outweigh the disadvantages.
