When do I use email?

The following is an evaluation of my personal, social and school work use of email:

● The purposes I use email for include communication with both friends, family and teachers. I use email when I need to communicate and don’t need an instant response or need to talk to the person face to face.

● I use email in a number of places, however, I am unable to use it anywhere, this is because you require access to the internet, this can be set up on your mobile phone, which means you can access the benefits of email almost anywhere, however, I am yet to take advantage of this. I mainly use email at home and college, I occasionally use it when I go away on a computer at the place which I am staying.

● The major benefits in using email is that is free (proving you have a computer and access to the internet) and you are able to send file attachments which can be useful, especially when you wish to send a piece of work to somebody or just sending from school to home for you to complete.

● The problems and disadvantages I have in using email is that often my mailbox becomes full when uncompressed photographs are sent to me, and I often do not receive some. It can sometimes take a long time to download your emails if you have a lot and many emails are junk or spam.

● Email makes me more productive because I am able to communicate with people and allows me to undertake activities over the internet without leaving my home.

● Email fulfils its intended purposes because messages can be sent over an internt connection and you are able to attach files and send messages to multiple recipients and most importantly free, which is a novelty today.
