I would stare in amazement at the stunning stretch of numbers as it inflated before my eyes. Then I discovered email is growing even faster. That means roughly 65,000 emails a piece, many generated by machines rather than people. And you thought your inbox was full now.
Email is fast replacing the telephone as the most indispensable communications tool.
In the U.S. alone, Forrester Research projects email will reach 50 percent of the population within five years. It's easy to use and open 24 hours a day. With email people can send photos, sound files, and other information over the Internet quickly and affordably. The email explosion will be fueled by growth in home PC penetration. By widespread Internet access in corporations.
