E-mail
may be the most useful invention since the telephone. While
the Web tends to attract all the press (and investors dollars), the less
glamorous technology of e-mail is in fact even more useful, and is used by
even more people. But e-mail and the Web are simply two different ways of
transferring information, and each is appropriate for certain
applications.

Remember
many a grandmother, who ordinarily wouldn't touch a computer with a ten
foot pole, has taken the plunge and gotten set up with a computer and an
internet account, once she realized that far-flung grandchildren reply to
email more readily than to letters. It's a huge morale builder in the
military, allowing service people to stay in touch with the folks back
home from literally anywhere in the world. |

The
post office tells us that the volume of paper mail has declined
substantially since email started to catch on. Email is even good for the
environment, as it means less paper is consumed, and less oil is burned
delivering the paper. |
