Making Predictions

How is email changing the way we communicate? Does it bring us closer together or isolate us? Will it ever replace paper mail? State reasons for your opinions.


The reason why I think that email is changing the way we communicate is because people today rely so much on technology that we now have internet on phones. I think that it is bringing us closer together for example say if u haven't talked to someone in a long time but u don't have their phone # or anything but their email address. I fell that they are going to replace paper mail with email but the thing about that is that how are you supposed to send your billls out if you dont have internet in your home??
