In his essay, Robert Kuttner discusses the harms that e-mail brings to society by creating a world of fast and forced communication. However, being apart of a college atmosphere has made me appreciate e-mail’s capabilities. At a time when so many things are expected of students in a timely manner, having the ability to get questions answered overnight is extremely helpful. Kuttner’s analysis of e-mail brings in too many emotions that might be connected to the e-mails. E-mail is obviously a terrible means of communication in a personal network, however, on the professional side of communication, e-mail could not be more efficient.
