(This next title doesn't translate)

Electronic mail has surpassed all other forms of communicating. Recently an American company conducted a poll which showed that more than 80% used this highly technical form of communication. Millions of users of personal computers use electronic mail right in their homes. 30 million people throughout the world communicate thgough electronic mail. According to experts, 60% use it every day, and 90% at least once a week. David Gewirtz, a computer expert and professor in Mercera, New Jersey, says that "Electronic mail is much faster than classic letters. Like the telephone, it gets to it's destination exceptionally fast, however, unlike the telephone, it doesn't require the presence of another person on the other end of the line. For example, you can send a message to someone in China and it'll arrive in less than a minute. However, the recipient is most likely asleep, but, when they get up in the morning, the message will be waiting.

Language Is Not An Obstacle
As David Gewirtz tells us, today there is a computer program which automatically translates an electronic message from one language to another "For example, if I, speaking only English, need to send a message to someone who only speaks French, I can buy a special program for my computer which will take the electronic letter and translate it into proper French and send it to the addressee in France. After receiving the answer in French, the program will automatically translate the message into English. Because of this, we can communicate with other people with different a mother language even though we don't know that language." In essence, electronic mail, because of the speed it gets from one place to another, it enables interactive communication people on the other side of the world, and the expense, different from the telephone, is nominal, says Carol Baroudi, computer expert and and author of many publications, including the famous Internet For Dummies also known as Internet Za Budale printed with the subtitle Internet za pocetnike (Internet for beginners).

Letters With Feelings
Electronic mail is, says Mrs. Baroudi, efficient like the telephone, but, where the telephone has the advantage of more easily overcoming the language barrier. Many people who use e-mail add special electronic emotional components: "E-mail is usually expressionless. That is why we began to use so-called emoticons. Those are symbols, mostly a combination of normal signs which typically add to the text, :-) happy expression, :-( expression of sadness, and many others. That is how the recipient of the message knows when the sender is joking, or is adding another element of feeling." In electronics we communicate differently and have seperate conduct and writing, the so-called neticate. For example, it can include an element of shortness. One message can contain only a question, or an answer, without insulting the recipient, there can be only a yes or a no. However, except for the advantage, e-mail has one fault - a lack of privacy. As Carol Baroudi says, as a rule: what you do not wish to write on a bullitin board, do not write in an e-mail.
