When do you use E-mail?

e-mail is the most frequently used service on the Internet, it is an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family. it is also a great way to share information with people who you work with or just people who you like. the main reason e-mails are used is because you can send an e-mail anywhere at any time and it can be read by the recipient at his/her convienience. E-mail is fast, usually taking no more than a few minutes to be received which is much quicker than writing a leeter and sending it off. you can also send a single e-mail to multiple recipients.
E-mail is not used as much as it could because a lot of people use instant messenger which allows people to have a conversation on the internet instantly. instant messenger also has a feature that allows you to type something to someone who is offline, when the person signs in they will recieve the message. this is a lot easier than sending an e-mail and is by far the newer technology.
