For me, email is absolutely not a legacy medium. I would receive emails almost hourly, seriously hourly from random businesses and specifically colleges. I actually have over 11,000 unread emails(I don’t delete them for fun now). Both of my parents are regularly using their email accounts in the workday, constantly checking messages and reading mail. Many companies create work accounts for employees to email through, so the company emails are all on a single server. This has transitioned to the college world even more. UGA has given each student a school email account that is run through Microsoft. This account is so all-inclusive, that a current student would practically not be able to pass classes or sign up for anything without the account being used. Emails are sent everyday reminding us students of upcoming events and deadlines. Everything from football tickets to volunteer service runs through the email system here. Another aspect to the UGA email, is that it is the primary source of communication between a student and professor. If a student needs clarification regarding something discussed in class, or a question about office hours, he or she can be most helped by sending the professor an email through the UGA account. This transitions into the article about emails sent to professors from students being unprofessional or useless. Certainly there are some students who lack formal communication skills through media, but that does not represent the majority of college students. These are rare blips in a vastly intelligent pool of college students who are able to construct a professional email worthy of being sent to a professor. This stems from the fact that students at UGA specifically are being more and more acclimated to the technological world, that email skills are being acquired along the way.
