Send and receive electronic mail & Create word documents


Email VS snail mail
Before computers and electronic devices became popular, everyone would send letters and post cards via the post office. This form of sending information to love ones, family and businesses usually takes days, especially if they were thousands of miles away. Now this form of communication has decreased since the popularity of the internet and email.
 
What is email?
E-mail is an electronic form of communication which is commonly used by family members, teachers and businesses to communicate. This medium of communication takes second to reach the intended recipient unlike snail mail (post office).  Each user must have an e-mail address in order to send and receive text or images. E-mail addresses are usually provided free of cost by Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail to name a few.
 
There are lot of questions we could ask ourselves pertaining to email:



Creation of word documents
Prior to having computers, documents were either hand written or typed on manual or electronic typewriters. These processes were quite slow and prone to errors. With the introduction of computers, the process of creating documents. programs, presentations, applications and budgets are much easier. There are many software and apps, available on computers and tablets that can expedite the creation of documents and presentation. If errors are made during the creation of the documents, the use of a delete button or back space can quickly correct the mistake. As a result companies, who were using type writers back in the days quickly migrated to the use of computers.

Microsoft Office Suite
Most computers comes with either a trial or full version of Microsoft Office suite that can be used to create a wide variation of documents, web publishing, power point and spread sheet. All business uses some form of computers and office software to create documents and power point.
