Email Messages

These issues are varied, but I think all important to society as a whole. Now that we have email a whole new world of communication is being created. No more letters, no more telephone conversations, but email. Email messages (I feel) are much different than other forms of communication, and I think it is interesting to look at how email is being used in today's society. Will this have a major effect on how the next generation interacts with one another? Will it change what is considered good/acceptable writing? How is it going to effect how people relate to and communicate with one another? A fascinating world of study, that I really want to learn more about.
Another issue is that of writing in general. I know that when I write, I write directly onto the computer, no paper copy. Many people of my age and type do this, this is how we learned to write papers, directly onto the computer. I find that there are definitely differing schools of thought on how to create and what is going on...
