Email is the most popularly used feature of the Internet according to recent reports.
Email enables much closer contact and more frequent communication. I have been living in Turkey for seventeen years and only get the chance to visit my family each summer. Naturally I like to keep in touch, so I can send a message in the morning from my home, in Izmir, on the west coast of Turkey, to my father in England and after arriving back from work in the evening I turn on my computer to read his reply. In the same way email can bring teachers closer to students, especially if they are the quiet type who feel inhibited in the classroom since sending an e-mail message is simply less threatening. It can also bring teachers closer to teachers as well as students closer to students.
