It does not matter who you are: a businessman, a housewife or a student. Email is always the most convenient way of sending across messages.

Businessmen often wonder how they got along before they started using email. Most of them now have it next to their phone number on their visiting card. Members of families living in different countries or cities can keep in touch. Students wanting to study abroad can send across their applications for no cost at all. Email is also a lot of fun. Almost everybody who uses email ends up sharing jokes with others on the Internet.

Email goes beyond just writing. You can send sound and picture and video files too.

The best thing is that it is amazingly simple to use. To get started you must create an 'email id' or an 'email address' for yourself. Just like you exchange phone numbers, you can now exchange email addresses to keep in touch.
