However, e-mail does not always bring people together. Obviously, this communicator can see that there are limitations to how personal communication can become through e-mail. Another way in which this is manifested is through an e-mail I received from my brother. The first proficiency test was a writing test. Tomorrow is reading.
Mom says hi.
Dad says hello also. Although I usually speak with my family on the phone for at least fifteen minutes each week, over e-mail, the only thing they could think of to tell me was that the proficiency test was covering writing. Obviously, e-mail can make communication less interactive, and therefore, less personal. Another example of this is shown through an e-mail that one friend sent to another about future weekend plans. While these two friends often spend an hour on the phone trying to make plans because so many other subjects interrupt their real purpose, just four sentences are exchanged over e-mail.
