The importance of e-mail for faster communication of text, pictures, tables, etc. is well known, particularly in the field of science & technology and publication. What are its possible advantages and disadvantages?
There was no email id in time past yet life was lived peacefully. Technology has come to make life easier for us all so we already embraced it.
Agreed with Dr. Ilori. Correspondences were still used to be there (Official/Unofficial) when e-mail IDs were there, and that too with more attachments. Nevertheless, Change is the law of nature and we should accept it. E-mail IDs have no doubt made the communication faster and easier.

Dear Abiola Ilori,
This is true that people lived peacefully even before e-mail became available. People also lived peacefully even before many of the modern facilities came into existence. But how cumbersome it was? Think of sending a manuscript abroad with photo-plates, tables etc., three decades earlier. It involved proper packaging and posting of all the hard copies and then wait for a week or two for it to reach the destination. The postage charges for overseas mail were also quite substantial. Now it is possible to do the same in no time and with no expenditure. The only disadvantage I see is lack of personal touch that used to be there with hand written letters written to or received from friends and relatives.

It’s difficult to imagine a life without email, but some people are choosing to stop using it altogether.

Dear Dr Tapas,
Thanks for your answer. Simplest, shortest but most appropriate.

Communication made easy now.
Many offices do not allow their staff members to check their personal mails during office hours just because of keep the office work going steadily.
E mail IDs if hacked might cause heart attack.
Money from Bank accounts might be siphoned off by luring through emails.
Threat mails ( false and true) make one worried.
Hi,
I cannot imagine a life without e-mails. Given that you said just the e-mails, we may have had quicker and precise communications through other messenger apps. But, none of them can be so elaborate and descriptive as an e-mail. Throughout the entire tenure of my PhD, I always communicated my articles and other essential documents and results through e-mail only.
Email are the very important resource to communicate....it is always easy way to talk to anyone from any corner of the world.....
