Incoming

I am convinced that email is the spawn of the devil. It makes friends argue. It is the birthplace of misunderstanding. People complain about getting too much and then complain about being kept out of the loop when they don't receive it. It doesn't get through when it should. It gets accidentally copied to people it shouldn't. It is used in the hope of saving time but actually devours time because it is constantly replicating. Blink and the in-box is filled. It makes it easy for people to request things without thinking. To delegate anonymously. People on the same corridor will use email rather than pick up a phone or, forbid, walk down to speak face to face.

When the apocalypse comes I am sure one of the horsemen will be replaced by "Email". {Possibly followed by "Blog"}.
