Emailing V.S. Instant messaging.

Emailing and instant messaging are two popular ways that people keep in touch with each other. However, I found that emailing is better in the purpose of keeping in touch, whereas instant messaging is for more INTSANT contact.

Emailing seems that people can save a lot of time from waiting for people to reply, compared to instant messaging. Instant messaging (IM) requires people at two terminals to chat/converse instantly and more interactively, while what we have to do for emailing is just to write something and send it to the receipient and then wait for the reply. Emailing usually takes longer time to "converse" but it server the purpose of keeping in touch ver well. Two parties enjoy hearing form each though it may take long.

IM usually can only send msgs while both the two parties involved are online at the same time so it is restricted more by the availability of one person. However, it does serve instant msg dissemination well as its purpose. Anyway, it can waste a lot of time using IM, like searching for people, chatting with people, talking rubbish etc.

ha... dun know why wanna say this... may be i feel very ON about it NOW? Goodness... anyway,, all the best to friends who are taking exams...
