Tech firm wants to ban office e-mail
\nhttp:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2011\/12\/05\/tech\/web\/atos-office-e-mail-ban\/index.html?hpt=hp_bn6<\/a><\/p>\n

I have never tweeted and never expect to (as you dear readers no doubt know already, I can’t even say ‘Hello’ in 160 words or less) and find text messaging (at least from a phone, smart, dumb or otherwise) unbelievably painful (I have ‘texted’ from a keyboard via my email, but I am not sure that really counts), but I have used chat at work (and occasionally at home) several times. To me it is not as nice as email because I feel there is pressure to get the message transmitted, thus less time for reflection and review (it drives me nuts that people send emails without bothering to proof read them!). I suppose I will have to adapt, but I took to email straight away as it meshes very nice with my skills. My handwriting sucks so bad I can’t even make sense of it 5 minutes later (my grandma was always upset with me that I typed letters to her, but I bet she would be even more upset if I had sent her a letter in my 2 year old chicken scratch instead), so nothing by hand from me, but I suspect in the next generation or so only artist-types will bother with handwriting as once the world has finally settled on a form of electronic authentication no one will even need to sign their signature any more.<\/p>\n

Of course the spam thing is out of control, but I believe that is a fundamental problem in the email protocol as it doesn’t require any sort of authentication to transmit messages. I get well over 1K spam messages a week and have written my own software to make trolling through and deleting my spam faster and easier. I suppose something needs to replace email, but please, not tweets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
