Electronic Mail (or) email

Due to advanced technology in computer and networking system, e-mail has become more popular in today's world. E-mail has an enormous influence in communication, both professionally and socially. However, there are both positive and negative effects of using e-mail.
E-mail brings a lot of benefits to society. First of all, the main advantage of e-mail is that it is the fastest and easiest way of communication.
On the other hand, it can be argued that there are some drawbacks of using electronic mail. The most important downside is that the security system of e-mail is unreliable and unsafe. As a leakage of information or data can occur, it is advisable not to write private information in e-mail. Another worrying trend is that volumes of e-mails increase overload and stress. The e-mail sender expects a fast response and this further increases pressure. Moreover, too much use of e-mail allows viruses into the IT system. Additionally, people spend too much time on checking and using e-mails. This will be time and energy consuming.
In conclusion, it is undeniable that e-mail has had a huge impact on professional and social communication. In my opinion, due to its fast and cheap technology, the benefits of e-mail outweigh all the disadvantages.
