To what extent do you agree or disagree e-mail is the best way to deliver information (IELTS Task 2)

As we live in hi-tech age, technology has provided an ease in terms of communication. Obviously, the most brilliant invention in communication era is e-mail or electronic mail. There is no doubt that e-mail has replaced conventional methods to deliver messages. However, electronic mail brings many benefits as well as some pitfalls. It is my belief that using e-mail is more advantageous than traditional mail and I will examine my thesis by considering the obvious merits and demerits in using e-mail.

To begin with, using e-mail to deliver information has some advantages. Firstly, e-mail has hyper-transferability. This means that e-mail is able to convey messages extremely fast compared to conventional mail. For instance, delivering traditional mail may be delayed due to weather or other hampering conditions. In addition, this method is considered to be inexpensive to deliver data and information. By connecting to ISP, standing for Internet Service Provider, you will experience limitless access to sent messages. Moreover, some public place are equipped with free hotspot. It means that sending message can be costless. Finally, regarding environmental preservation, using e-mail to convey messages and documents is considered as a smart way to reduce paper consumption. As a result, the use of e-mail can be associated with reducing the overuse of resources such as trees and forest.

However, there are some considerable drawbacks as well. According to some research papers, the greatest obstacle, with which internet deals, is security issues. The security is associated with global current problems, which are viruses and phishing. The virus is able to damage our data and operation system and e-mail can be medium to contaminate our computer because of file attached or trapping url link. Furthermore, phishing, associated with earning money illegally, is potential to harm e-mail users in terms of economic loss. Consequently, we can be trapped and become a victim of this crime if we are not careful.

In conclusion, despite some problems, the merits outstrip the demerits because it is fast, inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Therefore, I firmly believe that e-mail is an appropriate method to deliver messages as well as documents.
