Limitations of using e-mail?
Answers
Answer:
. Emotional responses
Some emails cause upset or anger. A reply in the heat of the moment can’t be easily retracted, but it can cause lasting damage.
2. Information overload
Too many people send too much information. They cover their backs citing ‘need to know’ as the justification. Learn how to use email effectively and you’ll reduce time wasted on this.
3. Lacking the Personal Touch
Some things are best left untyped. Email will never beat a hand written card or letter when it comes to relationships.
4. Misunderstandings
Emails from people who don’t take the time to read what they write before clicking ‘send’. Time is wasted, either to clarify or, worse, acting on a misinterpretation of the message.
5. No Respite
Your email inbox is like a garden; it needs to be constantly maintained. Leave it and will continue to grow. Ignore it at your peril!
6. Pressure to Reply
Once it’s in your inbox, you feel an ever increasing obligation to act on it. Procrastinating doesn’t making it go away. Do it, dump it or delegate it.
7. Spam
Having to deal with spam and spoofs is one of the worst avoidable time wasters online. Use some anti spam software.
8. Sucks up Your Time
Over checking messages is so common, but it is time wasted on a low value, passive activity. Better to check once or twice a day.
9. Too Long
How long is too long? It’s hard to say exactly, but the longer it goes on, the harder it is to take in. Email is suited to brevity - keep it short and sweet.
10. Viruses
A virus could seriously affect your computer. If you want to know how to use email effectively, it's worth learning how to deal with these.
