email vs mail


Today's blog is about the differences and similarities between email and mail. With technology coming into our lives we can see the apparent contradictions and comparisons of email and mail. We can say that sending an email is more convenient than sending mail if it is on a letterform. Email can get to the destination in a few minutes while mail takes minimum a few days. Through email you can send it to anywhere in the world, but if they send mail you won’t be able to receive it everywhere like an email. Email can’t sent packages like mail can so we have the restriction to only letters, pictures and videos. Being able to send each other emails that take a few minutes instead of mail that takes days is a clear reason on how technology is making our life easier. Because of email we can get our work or important business done through our computers like for me I can send information that my lawyer needs through my computer instead of driving all the way to Seattle every time she needs something from me because an email is instant. The problem with an email is that if you have the wrong email address then it won’t reach the person you intended to send it to. If you have important information it can be sent to the wrong person. Even though mail has a chance of doing the same it has a greater possibility to get to the intended person. Email is a great invention that for sure has made our lives easier just that it took the personal aspect of sending mail out.

Dinosaurs

The last couple of classes we talked about companies and how they competed with each other with the web coming out. It was really interesting to hear that the ones who made it after the dot.com bomb were the ones that made it and now are some of the most powerful companies that we have, like Amazon and Apple. Aol who now is even rare to see an email from it was one of the leaders a couple of years ago, and because of how fast technology changes it is not a big player anymore. Companies adopting change is what made them stay relevant and survive. It was also interesting how many companies like Microsoft were not interested changing to get more integrated and that could have been the end for them but still they got out of the dot.com crisis and are one of the biggest companies. Making so much money that even if they stopped now they would still be making money. So many companies becoming extinct like the dinosaurs was a great way to comparison, also on how slow and p

Group Project

For my group project I would love to research and talk to the class about net neutrality because I think this is an interesting topic that might be passed by our government without many of us knowing what it means. The thought of us having to pay for something that is free to us right now is just bonkers, and it might happen just because we are not aware. I watched John Oliver who did a piece on it and was the only way that I heard about it if not for him then I also wouldn’t know anything about it. I still have to get more information on this topic because even though John Oliver is the best I watched it a while back and I want to research more on the topic. Since I don’t have much else to talk about Net Neutrality I will talk about John Oliver who is a show host on HBO and why I like him. John’s show is one of my favorite because he only does one show per week but that show is always packed with so much information because of the massive research he does. He is a Br

A pretty interesting guy.

Shadrach White came to talk to us on Wednesday and him talking about starting business was very interesting. He started because he was at the right place at the right time and because of this he ended up making his own business that is growing. Shadrach’s business reminded me of govworks because it has to deal with government, but that’s only because we just watched it and because they both are trying to make government work easier. Having the ability to start a company with free servers was probably the most interesting thing he mentioned since it means that creating your company before was way harder because you would need that extra money so you could just start it. He also talked about how they recreate the programs they used to cut down cost, and that is very smart since you will always want to be competitive with your pricing. Shadrach mentioned that he used his connections to start his company by doing freelancing in companies and waiting until he had enough
