Question

Explain Reasons why electronic mail is more preferable than paper mail

Answer 1

1. Emails are delivered extremely fast when compared to traditional post.
2. Emails can be sent 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
3. Webmail means emails can be sent and received from any computer, anywhere in the world, that has an internet connection.
4. Cheap - when using broadband, each email sent is effectively free. Dial-up users are charged at local call rates but it only takes a few seconds (for conventional email, eg text only) to send an email.
5. Email can be sent to one person or several people.
