1.2 - Activity Four - When you use E-mail?

I tend to use E-mail for sending attatchments such as work to myself to and from home and school. I also use E-mail for other purposes like filling in application forms or emailing certain people - like a company. I normally use E-mail at home and at school but I do not use E-mail to communicate with friends, for this I tend to use instant messenger. One of the major benefits of using email is that you are able to send attachments such as: word files, images, videos and sounds. However there are limitations on the amount and size of files you are able to send. Another major benefit is that you are able to send group emails to large groups of people. This means that they all get the same information but you do not have to send repeated e-mails. A disadvantage of using e-mail is that you are limited to the amounth of characters you can have in an e-mail however this amount is still a fair amount. E-mail makes me more productive when I need to communicate information with someone quickly and at ease. Also when I need to send school work to or from school. However it can also cause a distraction if i am e-mailing for personal use e.g. communicating with friends. E-mail fulfils its purpose by allowing people or groups of people to easily contact eacother and a method in which people are able to send files to one another.
