Essay on USE OF E-MAIL

It is necessary to have strong communication skills while conducting work in this modern era. Communication skills will directly influence the performance of the task. E-mail is considered a professional way to communicate with expert bodies, but unfortunately, it is a dilemma of the world that people are considering the E-mail just like a visit to foreign countries, and same situation happened that you feel stranger here. Same as that the concept of E-mail is being died due to the overuse of social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and another source of communication. Most probably, there are chances to vanish the concept of e-mail as digital communication takes place in the world. Here it is considered that people preferred to use the E-mail when they were engaged in working on desktop for whole day. Now the age of mobility, people use smart methods to communicate which is finishing the concept of E-mail. This essay aims to understand properly how and why the use of e-mail is no longer prevail in the newest workforce named with Generation Z.

An article made by John Brandon titled “It's 2018 and Email is Already Dead. Here's Who Zapped It Into Extinction” has explained how the next generation is born with technology innovation, which leads them to a surrounding that is generated with mobile phones. People do not prefer to go on their desktop and check the E-mail. Therefore, it is being banished from society. People find it easy to use social sites to hang out with other people because they get easy approach to these devices as compared to desktop e-mail. Moreover, Brandon has also mentioned that the last era was very keen on the use of E-mail; people would not imagine working without E-mail in the offices. That was the age of the E-mail, but now smartphones and social sites reduce the use of E-mail due to the complexity of the usage. The E-mail is not a simple way to communicate as it has different parts of the message such as introduction, subject, body, and salutations, etc. employees consider it waste of time to communicate through the E-mail as when you start to communicate through E-mail, people send you lengthy and complex mails which are a big reason of time-wasting. Therefore people avoid using E-mail as transferring media. In addition to this, Brandon has defined how E-mail is actually not an outdated media to communicate with the people but seems a complex and difficult method to convey your message. Therefore it is shifted with smartphones using media in the new generation. Mobile phones are being more demanding to convey the message due to user-friendly features and mobility. In the field of political state, the data is collected by the leaders on their smartphones. They even get connected to their people with just phone calls. They also eliminate the version of the E-mail from the communication medium. The people who are being affected by the death of the E-mails are the people who are doing business in E-mail market who are working still on the effort that young generation should use E-mail to communicate in professional field. As they know very well that a young guy will give his time to other activities of his likes and choice, he will not spend his time on sending and reading lengthy E-mails (Brandon).

Another article titled “As Workplace Communication Evolves, Email May Not Prevail,” written by Adam Rogers proposed that it all is happening because young generation is not well aware of the importance of the E-mail. In past two decades, E-mail has been one of the leading forces of the business to communicate between professionals. They even can’t think of working without E-mail. But despite all these important people do not paying attention to save the factor which is going t0o end with the era. It is just because the generation z transfer their all work to the smartphones and social sites. Approximately, there are 95% teenagers using social sites and actively present on regular basis. Adding this, Rogers has also predicted that if all these are going to happen all these events, it more likely happens that the E-mail will become obsolete, and new generation will recognize it just as a written paragraph. They will not even consider it as a message. They will treat it as a just paragraph to read and ignore it. At the initial stage, the E-mail inbox gets full in days, and the user gets frustrated to read it again and again due to which the real meaning of the message vanished. In professional use, the carbon copies and attachments make files lengthy and useless. Due to these reasons, the young generation keeps on using social sites as compared to E-mail.  Furthermore, Rogers has also added the data where the newest generation enters the workforce named with Generation Z, which outnumbers even millennials—evidently prefers to use social media, direct messaging, and also texting to emails. In reality, a 2012 Pew study initiated that, while 95% of youth had a lively online attendance and 81% frequently used social media. Thus, only 6% of them communicate through emails (Rogers).

If both articles are compared, then it can be said that the articles have explained that it is a big dilemma of our society that E-mail is being vanished from the process of communication, but people, especially young generation is not paying attention to that issue. Even young generation is not considering it an important point to think that E-mail is dying and after few years it will be only in memories. However, e-mail might turn out to become out of date one day, and the communication among the workforce would have to adjust with the shifting of the workforce itself. Regardless of how appealing story was, e-mail is no longer an effective collaboration tool to be considered by Generation Z. In addition to this, the progressively outsourced workforce globally has been shedding on its various vulnerabilities.  John Brandon in the article has assumed that email has already dead, whereas Adam Rogers, in his article has mentioned that email might still not prevail. Therefore, the best approach to save the E-mail is to prepare the perfect implementation is to access the whole organization design in a way that the employee could get easy access to the E-mail. There should be automatic software, which makes it easy to handle the E-mails in busy routine. The user of the different media could also use these measures. If you don’t do these measures, let be prepared to see the world without E-mail that seems much horrible.
