Yesterday, I watched the movie <em>You\u2019ve Got Mail <\/em>with a few of my friends from my hall and found the emphasis on email throughout the movie very interesting, as it was released in 1998. The characters\u2019 main form of communication is through email, and I compared that to how it differs from today\u2019s media culture. If that movie was released today, the characters would have most likely only communicated through texting.<\/p>\n<p>Email still plays a large role in my life today. I tend to use email for more \u201cformal\u201d conversations, such as those with my professors, teachers, and boss. On the other hand, I use texting or calling for the more \u201cinformal\u201d ones with my family and friends. I think that email is still widely used today, for these more \u201cformal\u201d conversations serve as a sign of respect to those you\u2019re speaking with. Conversations via texting or instant messaging are almost too personable and casual for those who are considered your superior. Universities are so \u201cemail-crazy\u201d because this form of communication is so universal and is able to be easily distributed to large groups of people, which other methods cannot offer. One of the downsides of email is the emergence of mismatched exchanges between professors and students. This is most likely due to the fact that students use more modern forms of communication to such a great extent that the type of lingo used for these is translated over to emails. Despite its downfalls, I don\u2019t think email will become a \u201clegacy media\u201d any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t believe that email as a whole is a \u201clegacy media.\u201d However, certain aspects of it seem to have been replaced by modern technology, such as texting, instant messaging, and even \u201cDM-ing.\u201d These more modern forms of messaging allow for easier access to others and faster communication.
