The Past, Present & Future of Enterprise's Biggest Asset; Email


Bangalore: Communication has come a long way from hand signals to verbal languages to digital communication. Some of the means of digital communication are texting, instant messaging, social networking sites, micro-blogging sites and many more.

But what remains as a benchmark in the digital communication is the father of all: Email. Electronic mail or Email is a method of communicating via digital messages from one author to one or many recipients.

Though there are many who believe that people are getting inclined towards other means of digital communication given the wide popularity of social networking websites and instant messaging but a report by Radicati group reveals the truth; there are 144.8 billion emails sent on a daily basis and the number is only estimated to increase to 192.2 billion by 2016. Currently there are 3.4 billion email accounts out of which three-quarters belong to the individuals.

These facts reveal how email is here to stay for a longer time that anticipated and an irony to raise doubts on the necessity of using emails in the era of social networking.
