· E-mails are quicker to send
· They enable you to send attachments such as pictures, videos or other website links
· You can send them to more than one person at once, so it takes less time sending to everyone for example in a work place
· You can subscribe to interests, for example if you are a fan af a particular football team you can subscribe to any updates they may have and they are able to send them to you via e-mail
· You are able to keep up with job updates, for example if there is certain information your boss needs to send you, they can do it via e-mail so that they don't have to write it out all by hand and then send it to you through the post which would take more time.
·You can keep in touch with people that come from other countries without having to spend money on sending letters.
· Cheaper than sending a letter, because you have to pay for however much the letter weighs and if you have a lot of information to send to someone then it's going to cost you more than typing it out and sending it in an e-mail.
Disadvantages
· Not everyone has an internet connection/computer, so if they needed information they would have to go somewhere else to use the internet
· Receive junk mail, so if you are looking in your e-mails you can get junk mail which clogs up your inbox space
· Anyone can send you emails that has your address, so if you have forwarded an e-mail to your friend and they then forward to their friends, anyone can get your e-mail address and send you e-mails
· People could hack into your email account and get all of you personal details such as your address.
- Someone could send you a virus which would infect your computer as well as maybe taking all of your personal details as well.
