Hi.
Whole industries depend on it. Without e-mail my business would be dead. In todays world communication is a vital issue to the service industry.
The question I usually ask people is: "If I gave you a choice between taking down your email-system or your PBX, what would you choose?"
Everyone says to kill the phones.
I think that's a good measure of relevance.
Not necessarily.
For certain things, phonecalls are much better, because of the realtime aspect.
What!?! Email is not realtime? It sure is like chat. You press send and the other side gets the mail instantly. If the mail does not arrive within 10 sec the Internet is broken and you should call your ISP.
