E-mail makes easy to work at home, which is when I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessary much shorter than they once were but I spend few of them at the office. This lets me share more times with my young daughter than I might if she’d been born before electronic mail became one such a practical tool. The internet also help us share thoughts with a group of friends, say something that is interesting. There are four and five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the same story. We just have to keep on mind the internet offers another way of staying in touch.
