Screw email

I personally think that the most revolutionary form of communication thus far is email. Prior to its invention, important business notices were sent out primarily via phone or fax (source: nothing valid). Email creates a quick and easy way to send information to selected groups of people. For most people, it's free! For businesses, it's very cheap. People now no longer have to pay to send things to somebody who is across the globe! How wonderful!

Except I hate it.

In theory, it does make contacting people and sending them information much more quickly and easily. In theory. And it does, but I am very unhappy with the consequences. With the invention of email, the volume of work that people has to do has increased which is actually more stressful (on me, who cares about you anyways). I can't just leisurely read something, mull it over for a little, and then beautifully handwrite a well-thought over and eloquent response. NO. I have to respond right away because that is what people want. People are expected to productive but being productive brings very minimal satisfaction in this manner. There's a reason I only check my email once a day.

Prompted by: I just spend an hour and a half doing nothing but sending emails.

P.S. Screw you too, technology.
