What is an E-mail?
We use e-mails in our daily lives: in college, universities, and
workplace. But I am surprised to see that some people are not considering
e-mails as professional thing. They used to send an e-mail like they are
texting on Whats app or Facebook. So I think it is important to pay attention to
E-mails; we should know the difference between good and bad E-mails because
today’s professionals consider it a great thing. First, I am talking about what
is an e-mail and how its importance is increasing.
An E-mail (electronic mail) is exchange of messages stored in
computers by telecommunications.
E-mails Not Going Away:
As mentioned in Business Communication: Product and Process, Fifth Edition, critics says that e-mail is outdated, inefficient and slowly dying.
They complains that e-mail took too much time, increase stress and leaves a
dangerous paper trail. However, e-mail in the workplace is here to stay. Social
media receives in the news that most business messages are still sent by
e-mail. In the next three to five years, we may see more business messages
being sent by social media platforms, predicts Dr. Monica, author of
Brilliant Email, as mentioned in the “Business Communication: Process and
Product, Fifth Edition”. Typical business people spend at least two hours a
day, or much more, writing and replying to e-mail (Guffey, 2016) .
According to me, with the growing needs of E-mails in business, we
should know the difference between good and bad E-mails and most importantly,
we should know how to compose a good E-mail.
Nowadays, technology is used to improve the effectiveness of
E-mails as they are playing greater part in business communications. Improvements
have been made regarding security and privacy as well. I read an article about
changes made by Gmail in handling images and enhancing the security of images
and other attached data.
What you thought about era of E-mails? Is it long going? Comment.
