Should You Send that e-mail?

For example, I was discussing the use of email and how impersonal it can be, how people will now email someone across the room rather than go and talk to them. But I don't think this is laziness, I think it is a conscious decision people are making to save time.

Or maybe…I email because…I don’t like people…

  1. I like email, because it gets everything in writing... my inbox is like my 'to-do' box.

    If it was information from a phone call, I have to write it all down by hand (which takes more time)...

    ...and then I have to remember what was said that I didn't write down. that's the catchy part.

    Oh, and where I work... I don't have the option to just walk over and talk to anyone.
