Description
Email: A fundamental alteration in our communicative consciousness. In the mid-1990s, we began to enroll for a service that promised to connect us-electronically and efficiently-to our friends and lovers, our bosses and merchants. This change in scale seemed like a simple improvement - mail would be faster, cheaper, more easily distributed to large groups. However, it has become clear that email entails a more profound shift in how we communicate. Despite its waning relevance among younger generations, who are increasingly reliant on other apps and media, email remains an integral part of our lives. This book explores the impact of email on our communicative consciousness, examining its effects on our work and social lives, and the ways in which it has changed the way we interact with each other. 184 pages, paperback binding.
