Uh oh!

So I am finally posting another blog today because with my luck I couldn't get into my account! I definately have been trying to get into my account for about a week now since I first made it, I thought at first that I had my password wrong so I have been desperately trying to think of every password that I could have possible put into the system. Today I finally realized that when I had typed my e-mail into blogger when I first signed up I had mistyped it, so basically that was the problem. :) So now I am finally posting the similarities and differences between e-mail & mail!!! Yay!!
*Some of the similarities that I have come up with have been alot of the things that we talked about in class such as the fact that we use e-mail the same way that we use snail mail, to keep up with friends and relatives, send invites, connect with co-workers and colleagues. Millions of people send e-mail every day just the same as snail mail. There is also a post office just like mail where your e-mails are routed from. You can send pictures, newsletters, and invites. When you send an e-mail it has to pass through many networks to get to you, just the same as mail has to pass through many hands to get to the mailbox you want it to reach. E-mail can also be hacked into just the same as someone could steal your personal mail. There are many ways e-mail and mail are alike but also many differences too, such as the fact that it may take days and days for you to recieve your mail but it only takes a matter of seconds for an e-mail to reach its destination. One thing going for snail mail is,when you write an address incorrectly it can sometimes reach its destination just the same. But with e-mail the address has to be exact or it will never reach where it is meant to go. With mail it also costs for stamps and such while e-mail is virtually free. The main difference between e-mail and mail though is that in this day and age e-mail is so much more convenient to use what with everything being done on a computer. Thats all for now....blog being posted about Mark Briggs coming soon!!
