SummaryIndividuals living in today’s modern world have differing opinions concerning the so-called advantages of new technology that is available to us. Some are pro- innovation and believe that it has had a positive effect on our lives, while others believe that new technology has negatively influenced our existence. One such advance which has become extremely popular, but quite controversial is the use of e-mail. Some people, such as writers Judith Kleinfeld, Ed Boland, and Nicholas Negroponte argue that the use of e-mail has made our lives simpler in many ways. This includes the ability to be asynchronous, a simpler and less unpleasant way to give and receive bad news, and less of a commitment in romantic relationships. On the other hand, those on the side of writer Rob Nixon would agree that email has become too convenient to the point that it takes away crucial time from our busy lives that should be spent by our engaging in other activities.
